I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Labour..
So everyone wants me to tell them when I'm in labour so they can come to the hospital. At first, I was just fine with this, now I'm not atall. I don't want loads of people there just after I've had her. I want time with her on my own. My mums going to be there aswell as Rich, because unlike the rest of you, I actually will need her.. 
Well anyway, my friend that's training to be a midwife has some how got herself an invite.. Erm, I don't know how to tell her I don't want her there? I know, I know, open and honest, but she's going to be really pissy. I've known her forever and she has the weirdest way of reacting to things ever.  I'm allowed to change my mind right? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | of course you are hun!!!
if you dont want to be honest with her then you might just find it easier to not tell her until after youve had the baby.... | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think I will, and if she's around when it starts I don't think I'll have any problem telling her then..  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Personally i think its pointless anybody else been there who isnt going to in the room to support you, 1 they could be waiting a hell of a long time and 2 they just wouldnt let them in when you had her, wouldnt they have to wait till visting times? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I would just 'forget' to tell her... since you'll be in a lot of pain and will have other things on your mind... Unless your with her at the time i think that will be your best bet.
Once you're little girl is here she'll find it hard to be mad at you for not telling her you were in labour.
