I've insulted my mother by saying I only want my partner to be with me in the labour ward. I love my mum but she is just too anxious a person. My mum will just worry and make me worried. I've explained all this to her, but she feels very excluded. Whats worse is that all my friends really want their mother around so I feel extra guilty - is there something wrong with me? Suddenly everyone around me has these great relationships with their mothers. Am I being unfair? She lives a while away from us so is coming to stay for a week or two, hence she'll likely be in the house when I do go into labour.
