I’m 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. We went to the OB today and I’m not dilated AT ALL and I’m only about 50% effaced. My husband and I are very excited to be having a baby but we moved out of state and are not currently living near any family.

My in-laws are extremely difficult people and they are demanding we give them a date to visit and meet their first grandchild....but he isn’t even here yet. Doesn’t look or feel like it will be any time soon! They said they want to save on plane tickets by booking on some sale that ends today so I said “okay, well pick a date end of March that way we are certain he’s here and I’ll have some time to recover because I’m not going to be up to entertaining people immediately after birth” (we are due 2/21). My husband is upset because he wants them to meet our son and thinks end of March is too far - except HE ISN’T HERE YET. My reasoning for end of March is so that even if he’s two weeks late (which this is my first baby and that’s possible!) then that still gives me about two weeks before we have guests. I want a minimum of two weeks after he’s born before we have out of town visitors because I’m a FTM and I know those first couple weeks are hard and your body is going through a lot recovering from birth and trying to keep a tiny human alive.

Am I being unreasonable for wanting my focus to take care of myself and our newborn and not be entertaining guests??

UPDATE/EDIT:

Thank you ladies for being so supportive! It’s really enforced what I felt is the right decision for myself and our baby!

For those of you who have commented and asked if any of my family will be coming prior the answer to that is yes BUT only my mom and because she’s coming to help, not to “visit”. My dad won’t even be coming with her and won’t be allowed to visit until the same time frame as my in-laws because he wouldn’t be here to help. My husband and I had mutually agreed upon my mom coming to help when we found out I was pregnant so this isn’t anything forced on him either. His mother has a SEVERE fear of flying and can’t fly unaccompanied so she would be unable to come out and assist us even if we asked her to help, so the obvious choice for help was my mom. She’s also helped us in the past when I had a major surgery and my husband had to return to work because he couldn’t take a month off to take care of me (so we know how awesome she is at this stuff!).
