Honestly, this would cheese me off really badly. I would kick off so bad. That’s just me. However I agree with above, I’d speak to your partner about this if you’re really struggling with it as it won’t help if you struggle with PPD… I’m 39 weeks today and worried about this, however mine is coming to the birth because I don’t get on with my mum. It is extremely important that you’re heard and to be honest, a c-section is a big operation, though many may not see it that way. You need to feel supported with the healing process and literally just anything, so yeah, in my opinion, sounds a bit dickish and I would deffo lose my marbles!
Thanks both! 💕 I haven’t mentioned it to my husband only because we haven’t had the time. I will mention it at some point, she’s here tomorrow for the afternoon so I’ll see how that goes maybe! Family 😂
I’m sorry that you’re upset and I think it’s totally justified that you are - I would feel exactly the same in your situation 🫶 I feel similarly with some of my husband’s family (not spoken to me once throughout my pregnancy or checked in, but expect to come and stay with us when he’s a newborn and I know they will want all the baby cuddles - I’m feeling really nervous about this). What does your husband think? Could he have a gentle word with his mum to explain how you’re feeling and that it’s really important that you feel seen and cared for whilst you’re postpartum?
