Thanks Kelly and Lucy.

I am going to dinner with SO's dad and step mum tonight. I know the issue will come up because they all think my being pregnant gives them the right to run my life. I am going to state my intentions and will be informing them if they can not accept this or respect my wishes I will make sure none of them, including DSO (the bucket mouth) know I am in labour until after the birth. It may be nasty but I know that their pressence will lead to this.

I have told my mother that I do not want her there and that I will not have her there. I have already told her I wont be informing her of labour until the bub has been born, bathed and fed.
