Hi, I am 7 to 8 months pregnant. Just need to rant out how I feel... I start to worry about labour pain as I decided to opt for normal delivery as I heard a lot of side effect on epidural, but I don't know if I can even handle the labour pain (I have low tolerance for pain) I also worry that how my in laws will be involving in my life. I kind of hate it when my FIL and SIL only asked about baby and how they going to pamper him when he is out. But the whole pregnancy I was taken care by my own family and my in laws they did nothing at all.. I feel really sad when they only care about the baby that's why I worry after I give birth I have no control over my own baby. My SIL, she is single and like to involve herself in my husband life. She tell my husband to ask me to endure the normal delivery without using anything anesthetic or else he have to pay more money. She is more worry about her brother spend on my labour. I just get so irritated by my In laws. I did not tell my husband because I don't want him having a hard time between his family and me. So I get myself feeling so lost, worry and sad. Sorry for the long post. I just need to rant it out.

Hi, same here. My baby is 3MO but I still get really annoyed with my MIL especially. She has the key to my place so she comes by sometimes. She never ever knocks on my door and sometimes I'll be just wrapped in a towel(I take a shower with my baby) or breastfeeding. Barely doing anything during my pregnancy, suddenly she thinks that her traditional opinions matter, passing unnecessary comments ALL THE TIME about me being a mother. It gets to me most of the time , but I tell myself that, it's something we don't really have a control over (we knew this since the day we decided to get married I guess) and we just have to accept it unless they really piss you off, then I have no qualms about telling them off.
