[quote=Anonymous]DP in response to everyone suggesting OP is being rigid and odd -- if this were a different medical issue and OP didn't want her family bothering her, the advice on DCUM would be "just don't tell them." On top of that, pregnancy is not universally joyful for the pregnant person. I wanted a baby, but I had intense fear surrounding pregnancy and L&D. And before somebody says "so get therapy" -- of course the therapist said to minimize stressful interactions like posting on social media or interacting with anxious relatives. My MIL, who I love and who has been a huge help with my kids, was a terror when I was pregnant. She would come over in the middle of the day and stare at me like she could see the baby in there. When I went in for a c-section she cried because she couldn't be at the delivery (not that her being there was ever discussed). Some people are just too much, and OP knows whether her relatives are in that category. [/quote]
