Heres the thing: DHs friend lives in NC, we live in MI. He is up visiting. I'm 38 weeks pregnant, already dilated and have an appt today where I think they are going to strip my membranes. DHs friend wants to come visit us and spend the night. I love the guy, but I dont really want him around when I'm trying to go into labor, plus these last few nights are our only time left together as a family of 3.
Am I overreacting? Its just for the night, but if I go into labor while he's here I'm not going to be very happy about it...
Advice?
Re: DH friend coming to stay. Am I overreacting?
I really can't give you any advice, but am kinda in a similar situation and I flipped about it. I currently do not live with my SO, but we are moving in together right after the baby is born - he is literally moving all of my stuff this weekend so we dont have to worry about that after delivery. Anyway, he advised me that his cousin was going to come to stay with him for awhile to get back on his feet. I advised him that I didnt think that was a good idea and that I really didnt want someone else in the house while I was adjusting to being a new mother and if I wanted to walk around the house topless bc my nips hurt then I didnt want to have to worry about this stranger in the house to me. Plus my mom is coming to stay once SO goes back to work to help out for a couple of weeks. Anyway long story short, he moved in this week and I have been assured that he will not be there when I move in. I just hope he keeps to his word bc I really dont think I will have the energy to deal with that right away.
I do understand you wanting time for just you guys and not having to worry about someone else around. I would feel the same way.
If you do go into labor, and he's a good friend, I'm sure he'll get the drift and stay out of your hair. I would ask DH what he thinks of a nearby hotel, and if he doesn't like the idea, you prob should just suck it up and let him have his night with his friend. I would take advantage of them doing their guy things and go to bed early!
