scheduled c section

[yanibabe3]

I'm due in a few weeks. My parents and in-laws are driving me crazy because they want to know when I'm being scheduled for my c-section. Honestly, they have been asking me for months now. I don't want them at the hospital hanging around asking me what time I'm going into the OR.
Anyone else feeling the pressure of having a scheduled c-section?

I kind of know how you feel. I had my daughter scheduled c-section & before I could really relax, not only were my mom & mil & fil in the room, but also 2 of my sil, the hubs of 1 & their combined total of 4 kids!!!  I looked back @ those pictures & said to my Hubs, "Not happening this time."
I thought it'd be just our 3, my mom, & mil, fil this time but now I learn that my one sil & her 2 kids will not be going back home (they live 1,000 miles away) until the day after Boobah's born. This time, I'm going to tell everyone, not all @ once. It was such a ridiculous circus & I'm sure a little overwhelming to my poor daughter who'd already been thru the trauma of birth.
Here's a suggestion, call them right after you get put in your room & tell them to come meet the baby. It's not like they can assist in the delivery...I'm going to strongly suggest this to my Hubs & remind him of the whole, happy wife, happy life motto. Good luck!!!

Thank you both for responding. Are you doing anything to help decrease anxiety?
Lovetobeamomma next week I'll hold you in my thoughts for a safe delivery.
Mummainoz I'll keep you in my thoughts for a safe fill term delivery.

I am going in for mine next week.  I don't have much of my own family here but my husband parents are here.  I plan on no one being there till after the baby is born.  You just have to be firm and let them know it's just a huge waiting game and it's better to come.after your settled in with your baby.  Good luck momma!

This is my 2nd so probably a little different. My dr said he'll do it 10days before my due date if I get that far due to complications. So my family are all taking bets on how far I'll get with this one. I was high risk with my first as well and they delivered by csection at 35wks. It drives me a little nuts but it does make light of a pretty uncertain time and I'd probably get all depressed about the complications rather then excited about having another baby. Good luck, I hope it all goes well!
