[quote=Anonymous]You sound very similar to me as a FTM.  My mom is also on the West Coast, so her visit really had to be planned.  Fortunately for me--I thought--my kid was due about 10 days before a really important date in her work calendar.  (Think tax accountant and tax day.)  So, we planned that she would just fly out that day after her work stuff was done.  I knew more than anything that I didn't want her here BEFORE the baby came because we would just drive each other nuts.

My baby ended up coming the day before his due date, and we were EAGER for her to get here 11 days later.  We needed an extra set of hands by that point.  (Yes, you can do it on your own, and many people do, but we wanted help!)

Anyway, this time, she's planning to come a couple days after my due date.  (This time, I happen to be due about 2 weeks before her busy season at work begins, so she'll come for those 2 weeks!)

This time, she's also buying her tickets on Southwest because they're so reasonable about making changes.

Also, I get your concerns about vulnerability/privacy.  I found that all that stuff went away after I'd given birth in front of 10 people, and once I was sleep deprived and desperate for help.  I've slowly returned to my previous self, but I anticipate this second childbirth having the same effect again.[/quote]
