Got my c/s date!

JennyCraig

Unless I go into labour sooner, I'll have my DD on May 8th. I have so much to do before then but at least I still have 3 months to accomplish everything! So my question is: when should I share the date with both of our families? DH's family is a wee bit overbearing, as is some of my family (to a lesser extent). Since this is my last baby, I really want to have a good and calm experience this time, without feeling tense and worrying about people in the waiting room. I was thinking of just telling them that it'll be the week of May 5th and then tell them the actual date closer to May. Thoughts?

You could tell them the date, but give them a time to show up after you are done and rested.  Most l&d nurses are very good at deflecting family before you are ready to see them.
