Hi Bertie,

Our familes live in the UK. We have been here nearly 2 yrs now.
My family never asked to come over so we never had a problem with them.
But MIL is coming over my EDD was 2nd June and she is due to arrive on the 4th she did tell me to wait until she arrived for me to have the baby. I did have an elective c/section booked in for the 24th June and knew that they would deliver the baby around 39wks that's why we said she could come for my EDD.
So she would have missed out on the birth. Now Alexander will be 4 weeks old when she comes as he was delivere by emergency c/section on the 11th May.

It is up to you on how you feel about having family here straight away. I know i wanted it to be just the 4 of us for a few weeks to get used to having a new baby around.

You could always get them to come 2 or 3 weeks after you have had the baby.
