27-3-2009 - Should I be upset?

My mood while writing this blog:
Ok

Let me begin by saying I found my 1st stretch mark on my left titty and I am devestated but that is not what I am writing about so moving on....

My due date is May 24 and I have read that only 10% of women give birth on their actual due date. My "issue" is that my mom has 2 days scheduled off where she would drive the 7 hours up to DE on Friday and stay 2 days, then leave the day after my due date (Monday).

My mom is a manager who has so many days to use for vacation but she never takes them. I dont have any of my immediate family here (except my in laws) and I really dont have anyone who I know will get me through labor except my mom. She understands me and knows that sometimes I need to get popped upside my head and be told to focus when I start throwing tantrums. My husband is very quiet and all I see him doing in the delivery room is holding my hand. I need and want my mommy though!!!!!!

So my question is, am I wrong for feeling some type of way that my mom, who is about to be grandma for the 1st time, doesnt seem too anxious to be here for the delivery or stay for a week to help me out a little. I really dont think I am going to make it to my due date and I keep telling her this, yet she says those are the only days she is coming. I love her with all my heart and think she is the greatest person in my life........but what do yall think?

And out of curiosity.....who is going to be in the delivery room with you????????

thanks for listening!

My mom is going to be in the delivery room with me only if I deliver vaginally, if I have a c section she's not going to be in there she really hates hospitals. Maybe she will change her mind as you get closer to your due date or try talking to your doc about inducing around the time she is suppose to be her.

I guess I'm a little unusual...haha I didn't want my mother in there with me. I love her but she's the pushy type and we always butt heads in that kind of situation. it was just a private thing between me and my man and of course the doctor and nurses. With this delivery I plan to have it the same way.

I would feel some type of way too. There is no way you can determine when someone will go into labor. Your mom should know that. I would talk to her about it. Express your concerns. My husband, my mom and his mom will be in with me. Although I am generally depending on my mom and my husband to get me through. They are good at calming me down.

My fiance will be in the room and I will give the option to my 12 year old son, if he wants to be. I understand how you feel and moms should be there for sure. Reiterate to her that you need her. Alos keep in mind although we have a due date...its most likely going to happen sooner or after. Dont count on the actual dateuve been given. Good Luck. Wish my mommy could be there, rest her soul. Take Care!
