I am 38+2 with DC3. Have my mother on standby to come over to help with childcare etc when I go into labour. She lives an hour's drive away but has busy and complex life involving church commitments, volunteering, various groups and meetings, etc.
All this week she has been ringing me daily 'just to see how things are'. I am in annoying pre-labour twinge phase and getting very grumpy about it (both other DC born before 39 weeks, so could be any day/time now). AIBU to have said 'I WILL phone you if anything changes', to which she replied 'I'm just trying to plan my day'. Grrrrrrr. I would like to plan my day too, but unfortunately I cannot organise my baby to arrive at a time convenient to avoid clashing with the latest WI meeting. FFS.
Actually, perhaps IABU, but TBH this stage of pregnancy makes me want to bite people!
