My mil wants me to call her to talk about my birthing plan because she doesn’t agree with it...what…

I wouldn’t call 🤷‍♀️ there is nothing that needs to be discussed. It’s you birthing plan period my mother in law did the same thing when I wanted to do a water birth

Just say you appreciate her looking out but it's your baby, your plan, your decision. She has no power in your choices. I don't think it's rude if you have to put her in her place more sternly. It doesn't make you rude. What's rude is thinking it's ok to overstep your bounds as she is. Hope everything goes well!

I wouldn’t call either it’s not her place at all

Pregnancy brain... blame pregnancy brain and keep forgetting to call LOL!

I wouldn’t call either. It’s *your* birth plan.

Wait, what? It’s nobody even needs to read it but you and your doctor. PLUS, 99% of the time birth plans aren’t even followed - things change. How rude is she!

Don't call. Its none of her business and you can have her ass kicked out your room before you even go into labor.

@raquely, @mrspoe56, @mommabear1014, @tyrellp, I haven’t had any problems with her, but when my husband came home telling me his mom wants me to call her to talk about our birthing plans I was instantly mad, he doesn’t even understand why I’m upset about this 😒 ...the mil has already given me her opinion which I listened to, but I don’t need to hear or talk anymore about it. I wish I would’ve kept my mouth shut. Thanks for the advice ladies, I have such a hard time in these situations.

Don't call it's not rude. You're the one giving birth not her

@raelene_g, we all do!! But boundaries need to be set. Its hard but you get there LOL!

@jennatess, right! I thought it was so rude to even ask me to call her and talk about it, I understand everyone has an opinion which I listen to... but at the end of the day this is my choice, and I don’t need to discuss it with anyone.

@raelene_g, I wonder what she’s specifically wanting to hear/see?

@memybumpandi, like its just awkward that I even have to “put her in her place” people are unreal

@leahmommy, yeah she’s definitely not getting a phone call from me. But she’s just making things awkward now I don’t even want to be around her.

Don’t call. 🤷‍♀️ if it’s “such an issue” she can call you and you can just listen, but stand firm in your plan.

@jennatess, she doesn’t want me to get an epidural.

@raelene_g girl get your epidural..

@littleonemorning, I agree she texted my husband asking me to call her, not sure why she didn’t just text me? everyone has an opinion and I respect that, but she’s already given me her thoughts there’s no need to call her... 😒 but I’m really awkward in these situations, so this is hard for me,

@raelene_g, totally get it. I’m super non confrontal myself. I think I would be pissed too just because what is there not to agree with about how you birth your child. Personally, just wait until she reaches out to you and call it a day.

@raelene_g, trust me I hear ya!! My MIL drove me to confront her. No one else was gonna do it.

@littleonemorning, definitely! Thank you !

My honest reaction would probably be laughing in her face but then would say I appreciate your concern but there’s not much to talk about, it’s my body, my decision.

@raelene_g, You’re kidding!? Is SHE about to push 5-10lbs out HER vagina? What a loon!

My mother in laws view:

(Don’t worry! All I said was, “a girl I know”.)

@raelene_g, you're welcome. I hope everything works out, girl. Remember it's you having the baby, not her. This is your child, not hers.

I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this! It’s most definitely stress and pressure you DO NOT need right now. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@raquely, it’s weird because this is the first time she’s ever done anything so invasive, the last thing I really need right now is to have her act like this, it just makes me not want her around. Definitely going to have to say something before she says anything else!

@jennatess, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@jennatess, hahah yeah like honestly 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t care what anyone says, this is my body, and my baby! I just think it’s stupid to have this come up right before I have her...

I would tell her , your advice is not needed

Your welcome
