[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry this is happening to you. I think you are absolutely right and your husband is wrong.  It does not bode well for your future co parenting that he is being so inflexible.  Yes the baby is both of yours Your physical and emotional needs trump here.

All I can advise you to do is STAY IN BED.  You will not cook.  You will not clean.  You will not do a single load of laundry.  In essence you are on strike, your only job is the baby.  Have your mom bring you your meals in bed.  Keep the baby with you.  When you need a break/nap - and you will -  send the baby out to the waiting relatives.  I'm sure your FIL will not want to hang out in your bedroom.  A few naked breasts or a discussion of your hemorrhoids should be enough to send him running if he shows his face in there.  Your MIL should be made to feel welcome to sit with you.  Except when you ask for for a few minutes of privacy.

Make it clear to your husband that his parents are HIS responsibility while at your home.  See if you can get your doctor to write you a note advising "bed rest" for a week or two after the birth.  Ask him to schedule a few activities out of the house with the three of them.  [/quote]
