Advice/ help. Stressed to the max

So im 13 days or less till my due date and i live 2 and a half hours from family. I understand that they probably couldn't make it to see the delivery thats fine but i asked for them to come 1 day and see there grandchildren when new baby is born and they always come up with excuses. Now there saying if i want them to see them i can bring them to them. When my son was born we paid them to come to hospital to see him and  provided there food and drinks and place to sleep and are willing to do so again so they wouldn't have a reason. And of course  they still come up with something  everytime they do see us its because we drive the 2 1/2 hour drive. Am i wrong for not wanting to sit in a car for that long of a ride right after having a baby i mean i always tear and have to have stitches. And bleed real heavy plus im anemic so that doesn't help. What should i do im constantly stressed out because of my parents. And on top of that me and my husband already have a beautiful name picked  and they throw off on it and want us to give her my dads middle name and im not doing it. Ugh

I wouldn't go, if they won't find the time to come visit it's their loss. Just enjoy your new baby. It's not worth the risks to you and baby, you are the new mom, people should be coming to you, your healing.

I feel like they don't deserve to see your baby.

I don't think you should go. Your baby is new and fragile and your body is still recovering. It's their loss you can visit later on  .

Don't make a drive right after birth. Put your foot down.
