My worst day so far

Mandy613

So besides the fact that my mother in law has decided (and cannot be dissuaded) to come down 2 weeks after the baby is due (to help...yeah right), the last few days have been super crappy.  I just want to cry...my husband acts less than interested that I'm even in the same room lately.  I feel completely overloaded and stressed, and have gone through the pregnancy until now feeling pretty good.  Now I'm physically, emotionally drained....how am I gonna get through this?  I'm not trying to complain, because I know a lot of people out there have much bigger issues, but I just needed to get this out, putting it on something like Facebook is a bad idea, and my husband doesn't want to talk about it, cause he doesn't want to feel stressed about it....ugh

Hang in there.. I had "that day" on Tuesday. Some days are better than others this is a very stressful time. Most of the stuff you can't do anything about, but if you don't want MIL coming, that's you and DH's decision and you can say no. Good luck!

Hang in there!  It will get better!  My MIL wanted to come a week before the baby is due and stay a week after!  I was like no way!!  I'm afraid she won't be much help and I'll have to be entertaining her and cleaning and taking care of the baby.  I did make a list of things she can help with though so maybe you could do that.

I think we've all lived this day at least once during our pregnancies! It sucks. But, tomorrow is a new day and hopefully it will be better than today. Try not to stress too much about the things you can't control and stand firm on those things that you can. Hopefully DH will come around and give you that extra support and encouragement that you need right now. ((HUGS))

Unfortunately the MIL issue is a fight I can't win, and believe me I've tried...I would say that it was maybe part of his issue (cause we have recently had some big arguments about it) but he's kind of been acting that way the whole time, it's just been more noticeable recently.

Hang in there!  You CAN make it through this and it will all be worth it.  My MIL cried on the phone to my DH 2 nights in a row because we told her she can't come and be here for the delivery.  Our compromise was we will call them after he's born and they can come a few days later.  Which is NOT what I want.  I want a good 2 weeks just us but this is apparently about her and not our new family.  DH actually wants them to come sooner than I do, so I had to compromise.
