[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we've said a lot. What is your thinking? [/quote] OP here, I know PPs are right and I should put my foot down, but I dread having to tell my mother that I don't want her there (or really that DH doesn't). She will lay on the emotional guilt, and even though I know what she is doing, it still makes me feel bad. On the other hand, I also do not feel right about lying and, say, pretending that my c-section is scheduled for an earlier date and opps, I went into labor early. Lying is very tempting though.[/quote] First of all, you cannot tell her that it is your DH who doesn't want her there. You have to think longer term now. You and DH are a unit, along with your children. Secondly, you aren't saying that you don't want her there. You are saying that the two of you want to have private family time for a few days and, besides, the hospital will not allow two people in OR. This isn't a vaginal labor, it's a c-section. Third, you need to decide now how you will handle her guilt tripping you as a grandmother. You can dodge it now, maybe, but you can't dodge it forever. You're an adult. Tell her your plan and don't allow her to berate you.[/quote]
