Im nearly 28wks with twins, already have 3 others, 9, 6 and 3. We know we won't get much further than 37 wks before induction, which was good as the kids would still be at school, my dad would be back off his hols and fitted in well with dhs work. Dh has text to tell me some dates have been changed at work meaning neither of us would be happy if he took his paternity when we were hoping as the implications of what he'd miss at work would be massive.
So now I'm looking at him only being able to have a couple of days off. Which means I now have no valid reason for not wanting my mum to come and "help" (also known as treating my house like a hotel) which means my dad will stay away so they don't have to see each other, which is a bugger cos he's really helpful.
The only other option is hoping they arrive at 35 wks and are strong enough and no complications that they don't have to stay in. Feeling fed up :-(
