Mother in law and privacy. Labour.
My MIL is upset that due to covid she cannot see the baby and hold him when he is born. We are all very upset about it, but that’s the way it goes and the way it’s been for many babies this past year. It’s been a rough pregnancy in that way. Now she’s upset because she asked me to promise we will tell her when I am in labour and I don’t feel comfortable doing that. She was crying on the phone about it. I feel like it’s such a personal, private and intimate experience. Plus I have been given the advice not to tell people I’m in labour to keep stress levels down and make for a more smooth labour. I think she wants to know so she can be the one to tell everyone that the baby Is coming. She is making me feel guilty and upset. Has anybody else dealt with a situation like this?
