Over protective..

[Desi's_lost]

My mom is talking about dropping me off at my grandparents everyday while they are at work, so if I go into labor, i'll have someone with me..but I'm not so happy about that. I like my time to myself to do what ever I want like listen to loud music, watch whatever I want, cook, enjoy my last little bit of time alone before I have a little girl with me at all times. Is it really that paramount that I not be alone? I cant imagine that i'm going to go into labor and BAM not have 5/10 minutes for my grandparents to pick me up if my parents are at work. Am I being selfish?

I don't think you are. It might be best if your not alone ALL the time close to your due date. But I honestly can't see why you couldn't have some alone time.

I think it's a little over protective...
But really, I'm -very- nervous that I'll go into labor on one of the days I'm at OH's house either by myself or with his brother!

I'm going to be alone most the time, (other than having Taye, which doesn't help me cause I'll have to worry about him to) you will be fine your not a little kid you dont need a babysitter.

Tell them that. Hopefully they will understand. YOu need to enjoy your "you" time while you still have it, ykwim?

I would just tell my parents thats how I feel, my water broke and I was alone at home, my mom came and got me in like 30 mins, he wasn't even born till the next day.

I was home alone all the time til I went into labor (not that it really mattered anyways cause I went into labor at midnight lol). Its not like you'll go into labor and 5 minutes later be ready to push, lol. I would just tell them how you feel.

see if its the day then i don't see to much of there being a problem, i used to stay with my parents when i got towards the end as oh worked nights and didnt fancy being home alone at night and going into labour on my own, just explain and hopfully they will understand

First time labours usually last a long time, as long as your grandparents are not far away and are on standby then I don't see why you can't enjoy your alone time xxx

Thanks everyone. Next time they talk about it i'm going to say that i'd really rather stay home.

No! You're not being selfish at all. If my parents told me that I'd be like uhh no i'm staying home to have my last few weeks of ALONE TIME. Because when baby comes it'll change drastically - you don't need to be at your grandparents. Especially if they live close enough to just swing by and pick you up if you go into labor. I was driving a car up until I was induced and my mom would always panic thinking I would go into labor, and I'm like if I go into labor I'll pull over - I'm not stupid! So yeah, you're not overreacting.
