where will you be spending Christmas??

Question

So this year I will be about 35 weeks pregnant at Christmas so my mum invited me over and so has my partners mum, only problem I don't want to go to hers I want to just relax that day at my mums. At my mums I have my own room (so I can nap) and my kids had a bedroom and play room aswell so they can be free to run wild where as at my MIL it's small, they can't run and no room to play really plus I'm picky I know my mum will make the food I like, just wondering where your spending Christmas? And if I'm being unreasonable wanting to be at my mums?

Answer

I'll be over 38 weeks pregnant on Christmas and I'll be spending the day with my SO at our house alone, sadly. Of course I'm happy to spend the day with him, this is our fifth and final Christmas as just the two of us before we become parents, but we both wish we could see our families. Both our families live only minutes away from from them each other, but we live 8 hours away from them and I can't travel that far away being that pregnant. Definitely understand you wanting to be comfortable and feeling more comfortable at your mother's where there is more room and a place to nap, but my SO's family is my family too and I'd never not see them on Christmas if I had the choice. So if I were you I'd probably at least stop over to your SO's mother's for a short bit. Even if your SO wants to stay longer, you could go back to your mom's to lie down or rest if you wanted/needed.

No ur not being unreasonable!!! But if u can spend time with both I don't see not harm in that unless u having to travel.

Answer

I'll be 39weeks so I have no choice but to be at my MIL for Christmas. My MIL lives in the same state as my husband n I and my mother lives 3hrs away. If I wasn't going to be so far along I would be right at my mother's house n sleep as much as I want w/o seeming rude. Since I'll be with my MIL for Christmas, I'll be home all next week for thanksgiving to spend with my mother

Answer

I will also be 35 weeks pregnant.
We always try to split the day between both families and rotate years as to who we have dinner with.
My in-laws live 45 minutes away - not too far but no other family lives there so we will no longer be catering to them - they will have to come to us.  
Plus my husband is an only child where I have 5 brothers and sisters so it's a lot more work for my family to get coordinated so I feel his parents can work around my family's schedule!

Answer

I will be 38wks w/ twins and my c-section is for the 27th...so I will be luck and happy to be at home..not labor and delivery!!
