To have wanted to take dd to school by myself today?

She started school a week ago last Friday. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and last week was my last week in the office (this week I'm working at home) before maternity leave starts.

My very kind & helpful MIL has been very helpfully staying with us so she could do school drop-offs and pick-ups while I was at work last week. She walks very slowly because she has sciatica and takes ages to get ready in the morning so dd has been the last one in her class to get to school most mornings.

My mum's coming tomorrow and MIL's going home, then on Thursday I'm going to see the consultant and will be admitted to the hospital for the rest of the pregnancy if my tranverse baby hasn't turned round .

Anyway, bit of an atmosphere this morning because I said I'd take dd and MIL said she wanted to take her. DD had been looking forward to me taking her so in the end we both went.

I feel like such a cow to be pissed off with this because MIL has been so helpful, but was I really being unreasonable to want a tiny bit of time to do this stuff with dd before I go away again/the baby comes?

Just to let anyone interested know that it went fine at the hospital, the baby has turned the right way up and they don't want to see me again unless I go a week overdue. Yippee!
