Ok, sorry if this is kind of long and whiny, but I need some opinions. I'm pregnant with my first, due June 2nd. My mom lives across the country, and has planned to come in 6 days after my due date, although I've told her its important to me that she is here for the delivery (this will be the first grand baby on both sides). I know that first babies can take longer sometimes, and I really don't want to be induced unless I need to be, but it kind of hurts that she doesn't plan on coming until I'm that late. Plus, the way my maternity leave works, I don't really want to be waiting around and wasting 3 weeks of my precious time off just waiting on the baby to come, since I'll probably only work until 38-39 weeks or so. I don't know if my mom can change her time off at work, but I'm also on the fence about being induced unless I'm an excellent candidate (AKA I don't really want cervidil, or to be induced at all if I'm not already dilated to an extent). How should I go about telling my mom what I want without making her upset? It would break my heart if she wasn't here when the baby comes, but I don't want it to be difficult for her either.
