I just wanted to add that i wish my mum was like some of urs! She lives about 7hrs away from me and i asked her to come when bub is due to watch my 3yr old and she said no! It didn't really make me feel that important or wanted that she decided work was more important than her daughter, son in law, grandson! She pretty much only has me since she hasnt spoken to my sis or her parents for about 7yrs! She does casual work and im sure if she told them the reason she couldnt work they would be completely fine with it. ohwell her decision i guess! just would have been nice to have someone here for this special time but we can cope without.

hope all goes well with everyones pregnancy and labours!
