Hey, ur mom or mom-in-law may be with her up to the point where she goes into the delivery room. You can sit just outside in the waiting area. The nurses will give you an update as and when there is. As soon as the baby is born (if all is ok) they will take the baby to the intermediate care, if not, they will take the baby to the NICU. You can go in immediately and see the baby (whether in the NICU or Intermediate care) Rest assured the baby cannot get swapped with another coz the nametag is put on as soon as the baby is cleaned and the same nurse that delivers the baby is the one who puts on the tag.

My wife has had 2 babies delivered at the Hamad hospital and let me tell you that the care has been amazing. Both my kids were in the NICU after birth and the care was very good. The doctors and nurses took give you constant updates on how the baby is progressing. No other hospital in Doha has better care than Hamad and they have all the expertise to handle any situation. Also, Hamad has probably the best NICU in the Middle East.

Don't stress out too much. Have faith in the hospital, doctors and nurses. Things can go wrong no matter where you are and no matter how much you pay! All will be well........
