Hi Dragonbub,

Wow what a position you are in atm. Your plan sounds good. Could you "use" your DH as a excuse? As in tell your Mum that your DH has requested the least amount of ppl as possible in the room.

I know how you feel. My mum is a very needy type and all situations become about her. YOu don't need this whilst labouring, you need to focus on delivering your bub. These types of mum's are so good at making you feel guilty. My only advice is to put yourself first this time around, stay strong. Your mum may not forget your decision but she will fall in love with your bub when she meets him/her.
