Yea my aunt was telling me to call her as well when I get there and that they're all gonna be up there waiting to see the baby. No! Once I have the baby I want time alone with my husband and son. Not 50 people rushing in to see him! Plus she's never around none of my mother side is around and now that I'm having a baby they want to be all in my life. Ha I don't care for them to see him but they can wait. Ha
Amen!!! It's not really my family, more so my in laws and it's sooo annoying. Everytime I see my mother is law, she asks me "omg, do you want me yo take you to the hospital yet?"
Uh no. Do I look like I have to go to the hopsital? Either way my mom or husband is taking me, NOT YOU.
Then they tell me to call them once I'm at the hospital... I personally don't want to see anyone while I'm in pain. I know how I am and I don't want to be rude when I see them. How do you expect me to call you in the middle of a contraction?
I don't plan on having anyone with me while I'm having my contractions at my inducement except my mom and husband. When I'm pushing, only my husband.
I understand they're excited, but dang. Explain to me why they're more excited than me! Like calm down already!
Girl I don't want everyone up at the hospital either. My hubby and mom are gonna be in the room when I'm having him But I told my mom and sisters to not tell anyone when I go into labor and I'm also gonna tell the nurses if I deside I don't want any visitors to not let anyone in. But probably just to have some time with my husband and our first baby. But just tell the nurses there who you want to visit and who you don't or if you even want anyone up at that time or not. My mom and family understand completely and they have his whole life to see him ha
Lol thanks ladies glad I'm not the only "hormonal" one
Speak to the midwives at the hospital and ask them if they can put the kybosh on unwanted visitors and extra 'support people' in the birthing suite for u. At the end of the day, this is ur birth, it's a special time for you and your partner and one that u will never have again. Be firm in ur needs and wants. If they get ******, bad luck, they will eventually get over it. Don't let them tell you what to do and if u have to, just don't tell them when you go into labour. Good luck.
I COMPLETELY understand. Its not my family thats like that but my husbands, boy oh boy. I plan on it just being my husband and i, i dont wanna tell anybody til after my son is born. But with the way his family is i highly doubt it. My daughter gets a scrape and the whole family knows about it that same day, theyre just not private at all, i hate that they feel the need to tell every detail of their lives to everyone.but if you dont want them there they need toneespect that. If people find out im in labor and start calling, i plan on turning off my phone and i WILL tell the nurses that if people come ask, not to let them in my room.
Lol I feel ya!! My family can be a pain in the arse! I'm a private kinda of person too, I don't like the attention, their upset when I told them no baby shower since we're not going to find out the sex of the baby since its our last one. He has two sons from a previous marriage. I have a daughter from a previous marriage. So they're cranky since we're not finding out what it is.
Yeah , I just want to enjoy the first few hours with my baby and husband. But there going to come anyways so , I'm dealing with it ! Haha
Omg lollipops....oh my...I can't relate but would be just as frustrated at my family...I am also a private person
Haha for real! Everyone keeps telling me let me know when u get to the hospital I really don't want visitors during at all, possibly but probably not after she's born either. Can't they just wait until I bring her home?? I'm just gonna have to talk to my mom about how I feel but at the same time I know they dont either respect or they don't understand how I feel cus they just think I'm being a prego grump. I just want some privacy!
I feel the exact same way ! Of course I want my family to be close to my little girl and I have no problem with that but I honestly want it to be just me and my husband in the room and let the moment be relaxing and special for us ! But of course my mother is crazy and would never let that happen. Plus I can't tell her no she'll be devastated. But she's even having someone make lolipops with my daughters name on them to give them to everyone who visits ! So she plans on a lot of visitors that I honestly don't even want ! I just want to spend precious time with my princess !
