I figure when they want privacy, they'll initiate. Almost 7 yr old DD still bathes with her brothers , 5&3 (we have a big tub). The only time we ever had an issue, was one when of her friends had told her that boys shouldn't see her...

Another point to make: your midwife knows YOU. She has heard your heartbeat, and knows your baby's patterns. Extended appointments allow her to understand why you don't want you mother to be allowed in, and how your partner can best...
