ds was born on sunday night by em section and it was quite traumatic, I was hoping for VBAC. My MIL was the only person to bring me some flowers when she visited on Tues. My parents visited yesterday with my sister, they brought presents for ds but no flowers for me which I found very surprising. Nothing from dh either. When I had dd 2 years ago after another em section my mum and sister and dh all bought flowers. They seemed to be all over the place which was lovely

I know my hormones are all over the place at the moment but AIBU to be a little upset.

I came home last night, and i am just debating whether to order some from interflora and send them to myself then when people see them I can tell them what I have done, then they might just feel a little guilty.

Congratulations and many many lovely cuddles.

YANOTBU - I would drop a HUGE hint of chocolates, flowers etc being needed asap for nursing mummy in need of tlc.

If that doesnt work I always find a heavy based frying pan to the back of head works a treat.

Congratulations. YANBU - I'm sure you're a little offended after all your trauma and hard work. On the plus side - at least your MIL had to good thought to get you flowers. My MIL is a war horse most of the time and deffo would not think of flowers (but thats a whole other story)
