In the delivery room

[Deanna11]

Hi ladies, so i just found out yesterday that my mom won't be around for my due date which really disappointed me. Apparently she decided going to the lake for a week and a half was more important :/ so she said she's counting on me delivering early (which i doubt will happen) in order for her to be there. I wasn't sure if i wanted her in the delivery room but i at least wanted her to be at the hospital like in the hallway or somewhere close by. I'm so upset over this and trying to make the best of the situation..hubby will definitely be there :) but i feel kind of like i want a mother there. I get along with my mil but her and i have very different views when it comes to pregnancy and birth and medical stuff in general, so i don't really want her in the room. The only other person i'd want is my grandma who will be looking after her mom several hours away. I just feel like I'm being abandoned and don't know what to do. Staying positive is really hard right now. I know my mom and i don't always get along but i can't believe she's doing this to me. I thought she would know how important it is to me to have her there but its like she doesnt care. Sorry for turning this into a rant, I'm just so frustrated and upset that she won't change her mind.

Plus no reception so i'd have to call my aunt and uncles and ask them to drive over to give the news to my parents.

I'd be upset too if my mom decided a vacation was more important then me and her future grandchild..you would think she wouldn't want to take the chance of possibly not being around when you give birth :( is the lake that far away that she couldn't come back if you were to go into labor?
