@beadyeyes93, hoping to go naturally so praying I don't go over and have to be induced because I'm not even planning to tell them when I'm in labour and as bad as it sounds I'll be making sure I have my oh too distracted by my pain to even think about telling them himself, he's on about face timing them from the hospital so I'm going to make sure that 100% doesn't happen, they have the option to stay in an apartment 2 minute walk from our house but they don't want to pay the £125 it would cost and we sure as hell aren't paying it for them and unfortunatly his work has set periods of time off so he can't just take a few days, like I'm genuinely considering moving in with my friend and her wee boy for that week, like even when all of them were over in June for our wedding my head was so so melted constantly having to make sure everyone was happy and I had to give up my life to work round them and I'll be melted enough with having a new born never mind trying to entertain them too, his mum also sent me a message the other day with a picture of an inflatable bath saying "ohh you should get this so as nana can help with bath time too and by nana I mean me" and I was just thinking "first of all we don't need one its just shit we don't need and 2 you won't be around for bath time and certainly will not be bathing MY daughter ever", I'm still fuming and probs gonna be till it's over lol

Are you being induced or c-section? As you can go upto 2weeks over your due date, so pretty much when they're arriving! I'd be temping nothing worse than invasion of privacy in your own home especially when you feel so vulnerable after birth! Can they not find alternative accommodation or tell your partner if he's insisting for them to stay ect that he takes a few holiday days off work to cater to them! Xx

As much as I feel this should have been a joint decision between you all. If it's already booked & their coming, just think that's it's only for 5days in the big scheme of things. You would have just had a baby so I'm sure they don't expect you to be running around after them. And if they did... Don't. Who knows you may even like the company & I'm sure the 5days will be over before you know it. Your daughter will be sleeping in whichever room your sleeping in so they won't be doing night feeds. Also. Your a grown women & it's your child. Stand up & tell them you'll be doing her night feeds. It's important you bond & spend as much time with your newborn. They can do an odd feed during the day if your happy with that. If your partner & his family didn't respect you enough to ask if this was all ok with you then make sure they know how things will be when their over @alexmcatamney All families are different however unfortunately they come with our partners so sometimes we have to grim & bear it! 😬
