[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if I offend anyone with this, but your wishes trump here. You've prob encountered morning sickness, weight gain, stretch marks, lack of sleep, emotional woes, leg cramps, edema and who knows what else. Thats all in addition to the many dr appts and invasive tests. You have earned the right to call the shots on this one. Maybe you can talk to your MIL and explain that while you want them to be included, you will also need some private time to recover and get to know your new baby. As a woman, she may get it.

If that fails, try talking to your husband again and hope you get thru to him. If it were me and my husband was being so insensitive, I would just pack up and go stay with my mom for a few weeks. I'm a labor and delivery nurse, so I know well how difficult the postpartum period can be and you should not be troubled with having to play hostess just to appease your husband or in-laws.

And just so you know, who is there when you deliver is up to you and no one else. As nurses, we often see laboring moms who are afraid to restrict the extended family from being present at the birth because they dont want to hurt anyones feelings. We have a delicate way of redirecting unwanted visitors without them ever knowing that it was mom's request.

Congrats and good luck!
