Im 36 weeks and been feeling baby can come at any moment. My husband is very supportive and there for me with anything I need for our first baby. HOWEVER he's best friend announced yesterday that he has book 2 weeks off in august (he said hoping the baby has arrive by this time) to be on hand to help us. My husbands friend has no children... never had any experience with children... and thinks once I have given birth I will want him around my house DAILY to help us. When he told us, I turned to my friend and said "Oh it seems person thinks he can help me breast feed, clearly since he's taking time off work"
He then replied I just expect to come over for an hour a day and then ill go. I told him I would be locking my door as he will not be coming over every day when my child is born as I and my husband will want to soak up the "baby bubble" together not with him third wheeling. I barely slept all night thinking about how overwhelmed I am with the fact he lives round the corner from my house and will just turn up when I have the baby. I don't want him around every day. I don't really want him around at all. My husband says he won't allow anyone to come without our consent but he has such a soft spot for his friend Im afraid he won't tell him straight that he's overwhelmed me. What do I do? I want to relax in the days/weeks leading up to my birth... now im dreading it thinking im becoming a new mum and will be learning on the go with his friend hanging around like a bad smell. I want to be able to breastfeed in my own home without covering up. I want to wear minimal clothes if that's what my body needs to recover not trying to hide the fact I will be bleeding and wearing disposable pants infront of someone who I don't want to think they automatically have a right to see my child DAILY. Please someone give me advice and tell me its not as overwhelming as I think its going to be when my baby arrives...
