I spoke to my mum on the phone today, and she said "When is this baby coming then? Tell him to hurry up." I said "It's not up to me" She said "I'm having trouble sleeping and I feel so tense and I have heart palpitations because I'm so tense and waiting for this baby to come out." So I said, to calm her down a bit "Well we'll see what happens next Monday when I go into hospital again" She said "Oh I would be so pleased if you were induced then" followed by big sighs and everything...
She did add for good measure that she realized it wasn't a criterion (sp?) how she was feeling, but still I felt that she was putting emotional pressure on me. I did explain to her how I'm actually enjoying this time, the sun is shining, I'm with my dd's and consciously enjoying them while I can without any distractions.
