Hi this is my first baby, and ive had quite a difficult pregnancy so far. my mum and dad went off on holiday abroad for two weeks on saturday so they will be away during my 37-39 weeks this is my first pregnancy but there 5th grandchild .
do you think they are selfish going on holiday at my stage?
i had a midwife appointment yesterday and ended up in hospital having a scan because the mw thought my baby may of been breech,luckily baby is the right way round but i did find this a very stressful day,my mum and dad didnt even bother to call or txt to see how my appointment went even though i told them i was seeing mwife on monday am so they have no idea whats happened to me.
they didnt book this holiday until after i told them i was expecting and when the due date was so its not like they had to go now!
also neither of them work both retired so really can go anytime.they are not old though only early 60s and fit and well
i feel like there not there for me but dont know if im being unreasonable due to my hormones or something !!
im lucky because i have a fantastic dh who has been great the whole time
thank god for him xx
what do you guys think ?
