Well feel free to drop me a line and vent any time you need to. God knows I am up all hours of the night! Hope you are doing well. Let me know how the doctor/induction talk goes.

I know it may be very uncomfortable, but you should have a talk with your mother and explain that you will greatly appreciate help but that you and your husband have decieded that for the first four weeks you do not want any overnight guests. Explain that you will have enough to deal with, new baby and all, and that it will be too hard for you to relax knowing there is a guest in the house. Insist if you have to. This is what I've done. I know my parents and inlaws are a little hurt and disappointed, but also understand that I will feel the need to 'entertain' and this is just not the time. They are welcome to come over during the day to help out (clean, help with food...) but no one overnight.
I wish you all the best. Be firm!!

I was just reading your post in the 40 week section about your relationship with your mother and it sounds almost exactly like the relationship I have with my mom. My mom is also high strung, sensitive, and it seems to either be her way is best or no way. I also try to keep a good relationship with her and she has helped me a lot, but it can be very stressful having her around too much at times. What works best for us is she comes once a week to visit both grandkids and sometimes she'll take my two year old for overnights once a week or once every two weeks. I think if I saw her all the time I would pull my hair out lol, as much as I love her. Hope everything goes well with your delivery and baby, good luck!

I just peeked into week 40 and say your post. I am so sorry to hear about your stress. mom's can be the worst when in comes to this kind of thing. We just have to hope we aren't that way with our own kids. I have two children and I have had to deal with more than one unruly family member around the babies births. I recommend being totally honest with her, regardless of her possible reaction. This is a time when you need to be as stress free as possible and you and baby need time to bond. The baby will feel it if you are uneasy and that's not a great way to come into the world. On the other hand, from experience, I know those first few weeks home with baby are rough and you can use all the help anyone offers. With your mom there, food will be made, baby will be held while you sleep...etc. It could set you up for better healing and refreshing than if it were just you and your man. So really think about your needs and ask for exactly what you want. If she blows her top... well, she is going to have to figure that out on her own. I had to kick a family member out of the delivery room last time. they were crushed, but I couldn't tolerate their fussiness and worry on top of everything else. I also had to tell my husbands mother that I needed some space from her, talk about blowing your top! I won the worst daughter in law of the year award that day. But I needed that space and got it. When all was said and done, everyone made up and now we can laugh about it.

I wish you the best of luck!

thank you for the message! Well, it is Monday and I am back at work, but hopefully only for a couple of days! I have a stress test and sono today at 2, so hopefully I will know more by then! Hope you're feeling better.
