Hi Guys,

Just wanted to ask your opinion...
My parents are in the UK (I've been here for 5 years), and my mum's been asking when I want her to come over here for the baby - i.e. to arrive before the birth / to arrive on the due date / to arrive after the birth?

What do you guys think?

Also, she said that my dad reckons it'd be better for her to come alone, without him - I felt a bit upset about this, as I'd be sad not to see my dad too, but, on the other hand, I guess he's not really going to want to travel the other side of the world to help in changing nappies, suffer sleepless nights, clean the house etc etc, which is what my mum wants to help with.

Any thoughts? I'd be interested to hear from people who have recently gone through this too.

Cheers,
Bertie
