Congratulations MummyTwo, you must be so excited to become parents together!

There's a great show on Foxtel W Channel called 'From here to maternity'. Every season has featured a same-sex couple about to give birth (both women, given the subject matter!) along with about half a dozen other couples. I think it's great to see such an acceptance of a perfectly valid family in a conventional show.

Sorry I don't have any advice, but I hope you can overcome your family issues. My MIL is hell to deal with, so to a certain extent please don't feel you're any different to a hetero couple who have strained family relationships either. Just a different point to pick on! Good luck!
