[quote=Anonymous]My mom is a nurse and has to schedule time off in advance. We decided to have her come for a week when I would have been 42 weeks, because I wanted to a) be absolutely sure I'd have a baby when she showed up and b) wanted at least a week before visitors. This was planned for a week, and my dad came too. I wouldn't have minded having her longer, but not my dad. Definitely not my MIL, who is basically great. You really need someone who is going to be helpful in the way you need it, and who you feel comfortable with. Then,I got an induction scheduled at 39 weeks for IUGR, so I bought her a ticket for a long weekend because she really really wanted to be there for the birth. I ended up being induced early for other reasons. This was about a 3 day visit, and it was SO helpful, and also nice to know she was coming back relatively soon. My parents and in laws all still work full time, so anything longer wasn't an option. [/quote]
