[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP w/ problematic local MIL. Also didn’t tell her until after our first had been born. There was no time (wink,wink) and I made certain DH delayed the call until the baby and I were nicely settled an hour later.

My poor SIL made the rookie mistake of alerting the ILs that she was in labor and then was shocked and disappointed that my ILs sat vigil with her parents for hours. She didn’t think they’d race to the hospital.

I'm the PP who had fast labor. We waiting about 8 hours after baby arrived to call anyone. I was so delirious after giving birth and kept blacking out every time they tried to get me to stand up to use the bathroom. Then there was concern that I was on the verge of hemorrhaging--thank goodness they got that under control and it didn't turn into an emergency. Once I got stabilized, my midwife suggested I eat lunch before making any phone calls. Hats off to every women who is coherent and functional an hour after having a baby![/quote]
