My Mum asked me to think about having Steph at the birth of new bub (but not the boy). I asked the Man about it, and he doesn't think it a good idea. He doesn't think that she would cope well with all the ruckus of me being in pain (if its anything like the birth of Steph, 26 hours of labour). I see his point, but he would like my Mum to be there. She has offered to have Steph there and mind her, but if Steph isn't there, then I don't think I really want Mum there. That probably seems a bit mean. Last night when I went for my ultrasound, Steph was very unhappy, I think because she thought I was in pain or the ultrasound person was hurting me. That kind of made me agree inside that the Man might be right about her not coping, and I don't want that playing on my mind and distracting me at the birth.
