WD - the friend betrayed her trust during an especially fragile time, period.

Posted by kare (aka kare) Dec 2 '11, 08:52

If I have to hear "it's hormones" or "they're just excited!" as reasons to dismiss the mother's wishes one more time I'm going to hurl.

I would advise against trying to justify the friend's behavior; just be a shoulder when Mrs. needs to vent about it. She'll figure out what she wants to do about the friendship eventually.

Personally I'm a little worried about family/friends playing pass-the-baby before I've had a chance to see her and have any sort of contact during the "golden hour" after birth. Just seeing her wouldn't be a huge deal to me, but that's me. Especially if I have to go under general anesthesia. It *is* very scary to have thus experience so completely out of my hands.

Responses:

I didn't see if this was addressed, but did she actually talk to the friend about this, or is she just letting it fester? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:16 2
- The friend has had personal issues (deaths etc) over the last month and I think Mrs Disney tried to let it go but she cant seem to. -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 2, 09:18 1
  - I think your wife and her friend need to sit down and talk about it -- nm - amoxy Dec 2, 09:20
I must have missed something on a BB? We banned all family members from the hospital until the next day. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 08:56 3
- B2. we are actually going to do something similar. let friends/family know the date and that we'll let them know if/when we are ready for viditors - kare Dec 2, 08:59 1
  - We considered having them wait until we came home, but knew that was too cruel. - Spawn Dec 2, 09:19
- This was a friend who worked at the hospital. -- nm - mara Dec 2, 08:58

  - Well, I would take the word of a single midwife to be the Rule. - Spawn Dec 2, 08:58 3
    - *eyeroll* it's an article that explains the theory well. next time I'll whip up a 50-page multi-citation research paper for you. -- nm - kare Dec 2, 09:01 1
      - chill. The key to this thing is, do what will work best for you and your baby, not what someone tells you to do. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 09:03
    - Don't get me wrong, get the baby to mama ASAP, but that MW is being a bit melodramatic. - Spawn Dec 2, 09:00

  - I was there for the Golden Hour but missed the trumpets and hoopla! -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 08:57
