And shes a mum too, so really she should understand where you're coming from. She maybe may have had her mum there for her , but I doubt she'd want her in laws there when was recovering from having your OH. You don't need to play host when you've just given birth and I'd honestly be surprised if she's offended. Even if she's is that's not your problem.

An hour away is easy! I wish mine were an hour away, my in laws are moving just around the corner from me They'll have dd for me when I'm in labour which is handy. But they've been well warned if I have my homebirth to not even think about "popping round to see how you're doing" because I'll kill them lol. Xx

Are you hiring a birhing pool or anything?
Omg hope they dont, dont need that while your in that amount of pain!

Yes I think so. I really want a water birth again so the plan is to hire one. I've not even looked yet though my head is definitely in the sand about it haha. Am I nuts?!

Oh I reckon my mil will try coming over but she'll be told! Lol xx

Dan has already said, unprompted by me, that he won't be calling his family until the baby is here. We had this chat the other night. He said, "it's not even so much for you as I just wouldn't let them near til you were ready, I just don't want our special moment to be ruined because I have to wrangle them like cattle and miss out".

God, my heart breaks for him sometimes.

So... what an eventful scan that was.... the radiographer used the words difficult, awkward and I just said the word your after is stubborn....

So they managed to get nearly all measurements said all looked ok and healthy measuring correct, so I asked if possible could she sex the baby (my other half’s face lit up.....) after just over 5 minutes she couldn’t tell us anything said she couldn’t even hazard a guess.

Baby lay with hand in the mouth sucking it while legs were crossed and kept turning away from us...... all I heard my other half day was bloody typical stubborn child takes after you, he’s not wrong

So because I know all is ok with baby I have booked in for a private gender scan on Sunday, which I said when I booked I am not leaving till they tell me even if they have to shake me up side down!! So still team Yellow....

Nooooo...little stubborn baby!!

Private scans are good though. If you pay for gender they won't let you leave without it, as long as it takes. You have my sympathy lol I also have an awkward stubborn baby in there. Glad everything is good with little one though. Roll on Sunday lol xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Undignifed ahahaah defintly. I was in tears cos i had piles and couldnt even sit down.... And you also get baby blues which you dont want people around for!
I think everyone agrees with you gg. Your baby, your house, your rules. Dont be scares to offend people... Im only just learning that 6 months on. Dd was screaming from tiredness, teething and god knkws what else. We was at a party and MIL came to try and take her for a dance and i said no. Honestly why the fk? Ive made a vow to be an amazing mil to my sons wife!!

 

[malagueta]

Welcome, Katy, and good luck for your scan.

Amy I'm glad your scan went well apart from you having a stubborn baby! And not long to wait for your private scan then

GG, thanks for the excellent advice. I'll be using some of your points when I discuss this with hubby.

Oh God, Shan, I could think of nothing worse than MIL popping round in the middle of it all! Ehhh, bit busy here, fuck off! hahaha.

That's probably the best thing. You can't get those moments between the three of you back. And they're so precious. My in laws will know I'm in labour since they'll eventually have dd. And like I said, around the corner They have plenty of time to see the baby once you've all had time together and you're home, showered, relaxed and ready!

Take it easy hun at work xx

 

[PeanutButter]

My mil wanted to wait in the hospital... I was like why. Hubby was like its her first granchild she wants to be around, i was like well its my first baby and i dont want you poping out constantly. He said he wouldnt tell them no. Lucky she cant drive far and fil was at work.
Why cant people just give space

 

[KHTW]

Amy glad scan went well but shame the baby was naughty and you now have to pay for a gender scan! Anyways, main thing is that baby is cooking nicely! x

Welcome Katy, nice to have you join us and good luck with the scan today! x

 

[KHTW]

Malagueta, it really should be up to you who you want to have in your house when baby is born. I told family right away that I don't want to see anybody in the first 2 weeks when both me and hubby are at home together with the baby (that was baby no 1) and they respected my wishes. After the 2 weeks I begged mum to visit and help out lol and once hubby went back to work, having my mum (and her sister - yup they both came) around was a blessing!!!

Currently due with no 2 and again the 1st 2 weeks will be just us 3 with potential weekend visits form family and then after 2 weeks hubby goes back to work and my mum is coming to stay for 2 weeks, again with my auntie. I know they will be great help.

I guess it's different if it is your mum and not MIL x

If she does pop in...please PLEASE call her over and say, "thank God you're here, could you give my fanny a good scratch please, it's really itchy" and see how comfortable she is with it then!!!

Haha noooo don't even joke!! She's already seen my vagina, from the scan we let her come to, when the assistant accidentally whipped my kickers down tucking the paper in So she'd probably not be bothered honestly she'd come catch the baby if we let her lol. Even just the thought of her coming over after I've told her makes me get mad haha xx

 

[Shanivy]

Oooh Jem not long now!

Off topic question for everyone. Who's cutting the cord? OH obviously did it for Ivy but I kind of want to do it myself for this baby. He's chilled and doesn't mind since he's there for her being born anyway. Anyone else want to do it themselves? Said it to my mum and she went into a big thing about "turning into a weird feminist" I was like wtf lol. Anyone think it's a dad thing? xx

 

[PeanutButter]

I had to force my husband to shan! Thought he was gonna faint. Ahaa. He isnt good with that sort of stuff. Maybe i should do it this time! Have to think about it.
Lmao why are you a feminist for wanting to do that?

 

[KHTW]

Lol Shan! No way I am cutting the cord! I would probably pass out! If you want to do it you definitely should! x

 

[_GG_]

Regarding the cord, I honestly have no thoughts on it at all. Dan, nurse, doctor. So long as it is his mum I won't care, lol

 

[Shepherdess]

my oh didn't see it as a big deal with DD so the midwife cut. is it bad we don't view it as a special thing? happy for the midwife to do it again

although husband will get first skin to skin. I'll get a quick cuddle when she's first out then he can have skin to skin while I get stitched/cleaned up/cord out then I'll have skin to skin and BF

 

[Shanivy]

Lol PB who knows my mum is a fucking weirdo xx

KHTW aw I love that stuff. I was gutted I didn't get to see my placenta with Ivy. I want to this time lol xx

GGs unless you've had a stroke in the last five mins I'm assuming you meant isn't his mum hahaha ! Xx

Shep no not at all! I just want to do it I don't know why. They took Ivy off me in the pool almost straight away when she wouldn't breathe. I got her for a little cuddle. But OH had skin to skin more too while I got sorted and stitched. I think that's great xx

Interesting girls were all so different

 

[KHTW]

I don't really mind either and don't think hubby minds.

I got skin too skin first with DD and hubby only got her when I was getting cleaned up. Will be doing the same this time, if all goes well x
