I lost it today

The ultrasound went great. It was just afterwards I started to crack. MIL is driving me crazy. I love her but I just wish she would leave me alone. She's that type of person that always thinks she is right and its always her way or no way. She has this whole plan/idea of whats going to happen during the delivery. Uhm can I say NO. She's not my mom and I wish she would stop acting like she is. The bad thing is that DH won't really stand up to her either. It's just a crappy situation made worse by hormones.I just rally hope that when the day come she will respect us and just do as we ask.
On top of that I have to do a 24 hour urine collection. Great. I have another appointment Thursday. I am just really getting stressed out about everything. Not to mention that I'm worried abiut the baby now.
Oh, and my sister and my mother in law are supposed to be throwing a baby shower together. Well my sister hates my mother in law and my mother in law hates my sister. Neither of them will contact the other nor will they return phone calls to each other. I have no idea whats going to happen. It makes me nervous though. MIL called me to see what time it starts.
Yea, and I forgot how to add a siggy pic. Can anyone remind me?
Re: I lost it today
I'm sorry
It really sounds like your MIL stresses you out and that's not good for the baby. I'd let your husband know that and see if he'd be willing to nicely tell her to chill out.
Can I ask why you are having to do a 24 hour urine collection? If you don't feel like saying that's fine. Either way I hope everything gets better, and try not to overly stress.
Oh I dont mind. Protein in urine plus my blood pressure has been consistantly high since the beginning. Oh and i'm measuring 2 weeks ahead and she weighs almost 5 pounds!
BP was 143/90
Oh no, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. It could be a contributing factor in your BP too.
ETA: For your siggy, I upload the pic to photobucket, copy the URL and make it a tiny url (tinyurl.com), then replace the url in this code:

You can change the width and height to suit your pic
awwwh I'm so sorry jen and I hope everything is ok and that you get good news at the dr this week.
If I were you, I would either talk to DH and express to him your desires and concerns. He needs to help as you should NOT be the middle man (so to speak). Otherwise I'd talk to her myself and let her know while you appreciate her and would like for her to be there the day the child is born that you only want DH in there with you - or whatever your wants are. This is about you, DH and your child and people should respect your feelings. It doesn't entitle them to anything.
Definitely relax as that won't help getting stressed w/your BP.
Sending you lots of hugs, we're here for you!!!!
First of all I have been in a similar situation with my MIL. For some reason having babies I think brings out the worst in in-laws/families.
I have had to do the 24 hour collection also and I agree it is no fun!
I hope that your sister and MIL will get it together for your sake!
