my mom is flying out for across the country for the birth and a while after to help out, I'm soooo looking forward to this!! So now we just need to figure out when to have her come?????
I'm guessing we can't jut pick a date but should go off of something in the pregnancy that tells us they are on their way, but I also do not for a second want to risk her missing the births. How would you decide on this?
I'm currently 30w3days and besides good solid BH I have no signs of anything happening soon, my cervix is high and closed and no more than 50%effaced, the BH don't seem to be doing anything but toning my uterus. This is my first birth so no history to go on, and it being twins seems to put so many larger variables in everything.
We are still not sure how long she is going to stay, being away from her home is kinda hard on her mentally, but she is committed to helping us out and we are all really looking forward and counting on her for birth itself. im hoping for about a month.
I have miles, so cost is not as much of an issue and if need be I would pay almost anything for the ticket. We are planning on maybe a one way ticket, so we can be flexible.
It won't be a stress to have her here before, we just all feel it is a waste of her time.
There is of course the risk of hectic holiday timed travel to consider, yuck. Though possible flying her her actually on x-mas might be great as that day is actually a slow day in my experience.
