due date is only 5 days away!!! i had my docs appointment today, he said all is fine! i hope we have the baby this weekend becuase my doc is on call in town...but on monday he goes out of town, so hopefully i go into labor when he's here! If i dont have her by the 4th, my doc said that he will schedule an induction for the 6th!!! so...i will be pregnant for only 11 more days at the most!!! I'm sooo freaked out right now!!! i cant believe i'm going to be a mommy soon! it seemed sooo far away, but now its any day!!! holy crap...now i'm scared for labor too!!! i hope she's not big!!! lol....i just keep worrying! but what can you do but wait and see! I will let you all know when she comes, thats for sure! I do have one major problem though....my mom said that she'll only come to the hospital if i arrange a schedule of when she can come see the baby alone... nobody else can be in the room... not even my hubby!!! she wants to see the baby on her terms and her terms ONLY! she really hates my man, and wont even be in the same room as him or anybody he is related to.... she also hates everyone on my fathers side of the family(they are divorced)and she doesnt want to see any of them there either. so basically i have to tell all of my other family to leave if she gets there, or to not show up at all. my friends think i should tell her its not all about her, which i want to...but im nervous to..... i dont want to be responsible for her missing out on time with her first grandchild, but i mean, come on! she cant expect me to make this ridiculous schedule to her standards!!! anyways, i'm stressed about that, so i'm just going to tell her "Come if you want to... i'm not making a schedule for you!" so i have to do that. i have top be strong...

I would just have her come to your house after you & baby go home. It will be easier because you shouldn\'t have people just showing up like they do at the hospital. Not only that but there are a lot of interruptions at the hospital between nurses, lactation consultants, the people who do all of the documentation paperwork, doctors doing the baby\'s blood work, etc. I hardly had a free moment when I had Abram. That way she can have more one-on-one quality time with baby. Not only that you should enjoy those times & not have to worry about that drama.
I\'m so sorry your mom is being so demanding. I think you have every right to tell her she\'s welcome to come, but that you aren\'t going to deny anyone else time with the baby for her peice of mind. My parents have been divorced for 5 years now and seem to have made an unspoken agreement to get along while they\'re both here. I\'m grateful for that.
Good luck with everything! I\'m hoping I go into labor this weekend too, but if not I\'ll be induced on Tuesday! Our babies will only be days apart!
Good luck! My due date is tomorrow so I\'m really hoping I go into labor this weekend. I\'m holding off on being induced for now. The doctor said she\'d let me go 2 weeks past my due date and then they\'d probably have to induce me. I\'m hoping nature takes its course before then. As for your mom, I would just tell her that you can\'t make sure others aren\'t there. You shouldn\'t have to worry about that right now. Stay strong!
Good luck girl! I just want to add a little comment about your mother...if she cant put sour feelings aside to witness a wonderful mirical I dont feel that you should have to make arrangements for her. I hope that everything works out fine and dont worry about her, this is all about you and soon to be!!!
