I am getting so fed up of people texting, face booking, ringing and dropping by just to ask me how I am and whether there has been any change!
I am 40+3. I don't have much in the way of family and so am a very independent person. My husband has a very close family, and I think they are lovely and usually have no problem with them at all. My MIL is also under the impression that I will be calling her to join us for at least part of the birth (planning a home birth) even tho me and my husband have said we'd rather it was just us and the midwives!
I should be grateful that she wants to be involved and I know that having 2 boys she feels like she misses out on things that she would expect to do with a daughter. I don't have a mum around and so am happy for her to be more involved than my sister in law but I am trying to draw a line without her getting upset, altho inevitably she will end up upset at some point!
Arggh!
