Am 38 weeks pregnant.
My parents have been staying in our small 3 bed terrace with us since end of jan.

They plan to stay until baby born, to look after other dc's.

This is all great and i am grateful that they are here etc etc.

They won't let me do anything, mum actually takes things out of my hands when i'm trying to do stuff.

Worse thing: had a "little accident" the other morning. Full bladder/baby headbutting bladder/couldn't get out of bed quick enough....you get the picture!! Stripped bed, jumped in shower planning to sort out bed afterwards...............got out of shower to find both parents in my room and my dad drying the wet patch with my hairdryer!!
Felt really upset and angry and humiliated.

I know they're only trying to help but i can manage and i have strong nesting instinct at the mo.

Plus husband is a grumpy tw*t at the mo.
He's very stressed at work, is very nervous about birth(his first child)He's just phoned me to offload about the tits that he works with then asked if i'd had any labour twinges, i answered no and he said "oh for fucks sake" angrily!!

What i know is going to happen, as did with my other two kids, is that this one will be late, went 42wks with ds and 40+5 with dd, i've got to put up with this for another 2-3 weeks.

Can everyone just feck off and leave me the feck alone!! I can't even leave the house (spd and too fat to get behind wheel)

Thank you for listening, feel better already.

Well keep it going - how about some star jumps?

Best find a black bin liner to put underneath you though, given your somewhat unstable bladder

I can sympathise with you - I am not pregnant but have haD MIL here for 6 WEEKS and I am really stuggling to cope. Worst thing is I have 3 more WEEKS to go and am starting to lose the will to pretend everything is great.

However all I can advise is take a deep breath and try to get on with it. At least they are your parents so you should be able to tell them you fancy a bit of space - or send them out with the other kids or something. Dh is at work all week and the kids are back at school so its just me and MIL for the next 3 weeks.

Good luck with the pregnancy - hope this one will be early.

Get some Montey Python stuff (if you like that sort of thing) and watch back to back...laugh yourself into labour

oh and look at this on youtube: The new llama song. I guarantee enormous joyful laughter

i found that sitting up until 3am and deciding you'd have a nice long soak in the bath and go get a haircut the next day.. so you're all nice for the labour ward... is a good way to induce labour.

My waters broke before i'd even hauled my butt off the couch to go to bed, and i ended up being 'orrible and unclean in labour. so annoyed about that, lol.

joosey - did it work ?

Pollyanna · 13/01/2008 10:21

oh I sympathise. I am thinking of a way to put my mum off coming to stay with me when my baby is born - she lives in the same town as me!! It is difficult, and the last few weeks of pregnancy are tough - I always go over too.
