To not talk to MiL until after I give birth?

[Lucidas]

I’m due to give birth in two weeks. Have just come off a phonecall with a a sobbing MiL pleading for me not to give birth until the 15th June when they’ll have finished the renovations on their new home and have properly moved all their stuff in. Because apparently she doesn’t want to miss a single moment of the baby being here, but she also won’t be able to come and stay with us until she’s finished all the work in the house. So now it’s my job to ‘please please please hold on’.

Have mentioned that at my last scan, the baby was measuring very large (had to have a fasting blood glucose test to rule out diabetes), and that I don’t want to go over. Completely ignored.

I can't stop thinking about how bonkers she is.
this can't be real. surely as a mother herself she should know that's not how life works and that's not how giving birth works.

ignore her. and put your foot down after baby is born or she will try & manipulate you constantly with her guilt trips and narcissistic PA behaviour.

best of luck, have a good birth & healthy baby x
