BM is nuts... but I knew that already

So, as I posted, SD had the baby. The baby is gorgeous, and so sweet! DH and I (and SD) are totally smitten. Smile

SD also told me a lot more about what's been going on with her mom. Apparently, BM came to the hospital when SD went in. Which was all fine, SD was there for like 3 days in labor! So people visiting was nice. Except BM seemed to be more "camping out" than visiting, so on the second day SD sent her home. BM was *pissed*. Apparently she expected to be in the delivery room. Lol SD was having none of that. Fortunately SD got her way. BM came to the hospital as soon as the baby was born, but at least she was not in the delivery room. Honestly, I guess some women do have their moms there, but I personally find it weird.

But now we get to the "BM is crazy" part.

The baby, as babies do, was scheduled to go see the pediatrician when she was a week old. They get to the doc's office, and who's standing there waiting? BM! Apparently she called the office, found out when the appointment was, and just showed up! She said she wanted to be there to talk to the doctor. SD's boyfriend was PISSED, and apparently started screaming at BM, who then went and hid in the bathroom.

And NOW.... BM is trying to get SD, her boyfriend, and the baby to come live with her again. Because that worked out sooooo well the last time. (She got into a huge fight with the boyfriend, and then when SD intervened she slapped SD - 4 months pregnant at that point - and kicked them out of her house.)

BM is NUTS.

This is what i first thought too, the only thing i could think of is if BM lied and said that she was supposed to bring SD... either way DR office should have given it to her. If SD and BF were smart they should get or threat a Order of protection on her ass,( time may have passed if she was only a few months, no one should hit a pregnant women especially a mother. ) if she continues to show up and show her crazy they could get her on harassment.

Why would the office tell BM when the appointment was? I'd be having a chat with them about that.

This is actually the same pediatrician that saw SD up until she got pregnant (and her sisters as well). So BM has been going there for 20 some odd years with the girls, and knows the people. She probably DID say something like, "WE are supposed to have an appointment, can you tell me what time?" and the staff didn't question it because they know she's SD's mom (and probably DON'T know that SD isn't living with her mom now).

LOL! No kidding, I have some pictures from *after* my son was born (DH took them) and I kind of hate them. I look like a disaster. And, honestly, my son kind of does too (we both needed a damn bath). Wink I can't imagine pictures of DURING the birth!

My mom and my sister was there for mine, im not that conservative with family. I think i was more worried about DH being there seeing the horrific scene than them. I think they were more supportive than DH ( even though he did great too) but my family is very close and BS was my moms 1st grandkid born with her Bio daughters.

Heh. I know some (maybe a lot) of women DO have their moms in the room. That part doesn't make BM nuts (although her reaction when SD told her 'no' to that was.... extreme). I just don't have that relationship with my own mom. Don't get me wrong, I adore my mother, she is awesome with awesomesauce on top, but having her in the delivery room? Lol I told my mom that BM wanted to be there, and her reaction was, "Really? How odd. I wouldn't want to be in the delivery room with any of you girls, if I could avoid it at all."

Side note on oddness though. During the above conversation with my mom, my dad added this tidbit: "One of the women I work with had her brother in the delivery room with her." (Mom and I turn and give him incredulous looks.) "She did! The father wasn't in the picture and she was closest to her brother, so she had him be with her when she gave birth."

I immediately thought of Dtzy's DH and SIL. }:)

I just want to say I'm sorry for using the word "weird"! Poorly worded on my part, and I totally did NOT mean to offend anyone!

It's more accurate to say I would be weirded out by MY mother in the delivery room (she would be as well).

Sorry I put it the way I did!!!

I'd be weirded out, too. I have a girlfriend, she's an RN, and she's expressed the desire to help me give birth when I have a baby. I told her "I'm not entirely sure I even want SO in the room!"
