The wait is horibly brutal, esspecially
when my grandma calls me 4, yes 4 times a
day to see if there's any progress and the
goes on to give me useless advice on how
to induce labour
I mena com eon it's not like we're not
going to tell her when she's born and just
turn up at my sister's weddign saying
'surprise i popped a baby out!'

I'm right there with you. My grandpa, I
wouldn't mind if he's there. But my
grandma is already driving me crazy!!!
She thinks she knows everything about the
way my husband and I should raise our
child. I have tried, nicely, to tell her
what was best for her kids (40 years ago)
is not necessarily what's going to be best
for this baby. I know she is just trying
to help, but I can tell there will be a
lot of arguments that take place. I can
just see it now.......I didn't put a
frilly enough outfit on her, I'm not
feeding her enough, or feeding her too
much, or not feeding her right. I love my
grandma to death, but she may be the death
of me after this baby is born!

Yikes! I gotcha too Danni.
My nana And nanny both drive me nuts.
My nanny says things like "I bet you wish
you didnt get pregnant now"
"And oh god I hope she's like your borther
and not like you"
oh and theres "I hope you never have
another child"
My nana just always has to have "a talk"
with me
How hard its gonna be, how much my life is
gonna change, how i shouldve been more
responsible, how my life is over.
I know they mean well, I just think that
once people gewt to a certain age they
dont understand the effects of what they
are saying.
I also dont think they realize, Im happy
my life has changed, this baby is a
miracle and if I hadn't of gotten pregnant
I'd probably be with a psycho abusive
boyfriend right now doing god knows what.
I'm thrilled to have the responsibilty ...
but I seriosuly cant tell them that
enough.

family really can drive you a bit nuts.
i'm probably going to have my mom there
when i deliver the baby. i can't say no
to her but i'm worried what she's going to
be like in the delivery room. i just
know, like everything else, i will do it
wrong. she will be telling me that she
gave birth to all her kids standing on her
head juggling chainsaws and never
complained once. why not right? it's not
like i can call her a liar since there's
no way to prove it lol. after my sister
had her daughter she told me "oh she
didn't even try, she just hardly pushed
for a couple of hours then asked for a
c-section". but, i can't say for sure
what she will be like or what i will be
like and i guess i could always kick her
out if she gets on my nerves during
labour. relatives huh? you can't live
with em and you can't shoot em!

You are a braver woman than I. I wouldn't
even think about having my mother in the
delivery room with me. But we do not have
the greatest relationship in the world
either. I have a much better relationship
with my stepmother. My husband and I have
discussed this and he knows that I do not
want anyone else in there except for him.
I think it's something that we need to
experience together; and of course I need
him in there to yell at!!!! He
does agree with me though, he doesn't want
anyone else in there either.

see i cant imagine my mom not being in the
delivery room!
brian just isnt assertive with females..
he wont even ask for a changing room at
the store ...
my mom goes in kissing ass and taking
names... she will make sure that my nurses
and doctors give me the best care to their
ability.
plus shes done it four times and has
coached numerous births..
it doesnt hurt to have a women with
experience on your side.

yeah i can't imagine it without her and
i'm hopeful she'll be on her best
behaviour. rich is going to be a huge
help to me and i probably could do it with
just him but he's never had a baby before.
we are getting a doula but we haven't met
her yet and i'm not sure what she will be
like. she stood us up once already and
didn't call to explain so i'm not trusting
her fully not to do it again.

Ha! Ha! So I guess it isn't a good time to
say I'm having and I chose to have both my
mum and nan in with me aswell as the
midwife, but nobody else. I'm so close to
both my mum and my nan, plus they're both
still young, my mum is only 35, lol I made
her a nanny at 35. And my nan has been
made a great nanny at 57. I get on so well
with both of them, they're my best friends
really. *Hormones* Oh and plus its great
cos my nan has had 9 children, so 9 births
so she'll help with getting Paige out as
easy as possible and my mum is there to
squeeze my hand, support and cut the cord.
I mena com eon it's not like we're not
going to tell her when she's born and just
turn up at my sister's weddign saying
'surprise i popped a baby out!'
