No.... Your mother should definetly NOT attend your birth.
You are going to be fine.

I am so sorry you have to deal with such horrid statements from your mom.
She is projecting her fears onto you. She can do some research herself.

I also feared- the what if I fail thoughts- It gave me even more gumption to keep going!

BTW- I made it VERY clear to my mom that this was not a topic for debate.
If she wanted to be involved then she would support.
If not- then I would distance myself from her.
She was and is very supportive.
