My family is driving me nuts. We will have an induction next Saturday night or Sunday morning, and everyone is bugging me to know the exact date and time because they all want in be there. Last time I was induced I told my parents not to come until I called them, but they ignored me and ended up spending the whole day in my room while nothing happened. My dad even took over the tv and I had to watch a golf tournament.
My sister wants to come in and stay with me for a week, not sure about that. I pretty much want to sneak off and have the baby and not tell anyone!
My mum, bless her, keeps asking me "what the doctor says." Mum, the doctor doesn't say anything when you are 36w pregnant with your 3rd child. They weigh you and poke your belly and send you home. IDK if they could magically predict delivery dates in the 80's, but they can't now :-p

Yeah, my MIL's ears perked up when I mentioned I'd started having contractions. Evidently she's forgotten about waiting & watching me for 3 weeks' worth of contractions before I went into labor with DS. Tone it down, lady!

My mom is similar she seems to think the appointments should give me all kinds of mystical knowledge. I'm in there for like 15 minutes total including the medical assistant.

Heartburn sufferers! Something new to try! So I have had horrible heartburn/reflux for months. I'm on prescription protonixs, take Zantac twice a day, and always have tums handy and still have really bad days where I just want to cry. Well yesterday I went to my normal chiropractor appointment, and he asked how I was doing, told him about the heartburn and asked if there was anything he could do. He smiled so big and said "YES!! I've just been waiting for you to ask" I know hat Chiropratic is out there for some of you, I'm pretty open to alternative medican. (I want to note that I have been with my chripractor for 10+ years and fully trust him) He offers to do accu-pressure for the heart burn. He took a pen looking device and gently poked just below my sternum, arms, and collor bone. As he did this I felt the reflux slide back down. I've wanted to burp so bad, but that always seemed like graneetee to throw up. As I drove off, I was able to belch, it felt great! Today, everytime I think I am getting heartburn it disappeares!!! I am going to continue this as long as needed. I currently just finished a full portion of supper, first time in months! Just something you might try if your open to it.

The only ppl that know about my induction are friends & close non-annoying family who lives far away. My in-laws know nothing for this exact reason. Absolutely nobody will be waiting in the waiting room. Phone calls will be made after baby is born, skin to skin etc.
annbuhdan, katelm, Ahh...my family hasn't been giving me trouble about the induction. I told them and the grandparents will all be at home taking care of DD anyways. I didn't think about the fact that maybe I'd get a lot of questions about whether baby is here yet from friends if I tell them the induction date.

Omfg - golf tournament? Get out, Dad.
Even if we had ended up with a scheduled C-section, I would not have shared the date. Everyone would have gotten a surprise text. I cannot handle my privacy being invaded by people.
Yeah, uh, nope, I don't tell any family anything until there is a baby in my arms. Except my mum bc she is here watching the other kid(s). I think she would notice if I left for the hospital
My mom is already freaking the fuck out because my sister mentioned the 19th to her (I'm scheduled for the 22nd). She's gotten nasty with me a few times- "you're having that baby the 19th and not telling anyone aren't you?!"

Re annoying family: last time with DD while in recovery my mom made DH come out to waiting room to get a stuffed pink bear. We were so annoyed..like it couldn't wait an hour. I wasn't giving her the stuffed animal as I was busy trying to bond and figure out nursing! Then my mom, SIL, and FIL were all waiting outside my room as they were wheeling me in. I was so overwhelmed. This time were making it clear that everyone is to wait in waiting area. And whoever has DD stays home until we tell them to bring her and she'll be the first one into my room to meet the baby. After we've had some family time with the 4 of us, people can visit. I don't care if people are hurt.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
Re family: we only told my parents and his that we were being induced the first time. And then we only had my mom and step dad visit the night she was born (he brought us food then they both left) then my mil visited the next day and we broke out it was perfect.
This time only my mom and step dad should be in town as we live 2.5 hours from any of our family.
