Thanks dreamy I think a rota is a brilliant idea, I'll check the visiting hours at the birth centre today.
I realise that I may well change my mind and want to see people there or show off the new baby, plus if they come there they might not come to our house straight after so it would have its advantages.
What is driving me insane is that they are so inconsiderate, not asking me how I feel about it and just decide this is what they are going to do, making me feel like a "vessel" for their baby or something.
Not sure whether you meant sil sounds organised, that's made me laugh anyway. .
This is the girl who borrowed my car over a month ago for a day, got a fine, didn't tell me and still hasn't paid me back entirely for it.
She'll have no money to take dh for dinner or cook him anything as she has already spent this month's wages on clothes at the weekend, I am not kidding.) Furthermore she will be round ours asking for money for petrol to get to work and asking what we're eating and can she come cause there's no food "at home" (her parent's place). I could go on and on. I think I need therapy.
I have the perfect person for what you suggested though; my best friend is coming over to help out, she lives a couple of hours away but will be staying at her mums who lives close by for a few days after birth.
I asked her months ago to be my birth partner if needed (ie long labour) and help me fend off ils - if that's what I need.
I know her mum will cook something and she is just so accomodating.
So thanks for reminding me of that
As for sil/fil, well, dh is under instructions to switch his phone off once we're in labour. As some of you said, we'll just call/text when we're ready to have visitors.
On the baby front, lots of BH last night and this morning but no cramping or show or waters breaking. How do we know it's the real thing again? Just sort of more intense and regular bh?
doris Yes, I have written "no visitors" on my birth plan.
