[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Honestly its interesting to see its basically a split decision.  I can also kinda go either way on it.  Its annoying to me how much this is weighing on me and I just want to make up my mind.  Thanks for everyone who has weighed in.  Im 35 weeks tomorrow so I will just mull it over for a few weeks I guess. [/quote]

If it helps, you can always be generous and say yes - with the possibility that you deliver before she can make it.

You also mentioned that previously, you said MIL was asked not to visit until 24-36 hours later.  Maybe let her sit in the waiting room and come in sooner.  That would probably go a long way in terms of throwing her a bone.[/quote]

OP here.  I am honestly considering going this route and maybe lying a little bit on the timing.  [b]Like maybe encourage her to leave for the hospital when Im basically pushing her out or something. [/b]Ugh. Just want to protect everyones feelings. [/quote]

No--the lie is worse than anything, and you don't want to be thinking about this while you're in labor.  Just have her come the next day as she has done before.

You're trying to have your cake and eat it too with regard to your MIL's feelings--when her feelings really don't deserve remotely the same consideration as yours.  So prioritize yours.[/quote]
