  • Broke down crying when I called my mom to update her on latest ob appt where baby is good but colcoscopy not. No biopsy because of pg but they want to look again at 28 wks. So now mom wants to come to 28 wk appt for support but she stresses me out and I'd really rather she wasn't there. Plus, there isn't anything she could do. I really don't want a pity party. Can I possibly keep her from coming in a kind way? Or should I just suck up the stress of her visit and be glad I have a supportive mom? Have another biopsy next week too so I'm already plenty stressed.

    • I have a mom like this too. You're going to have to be firm with her if you think it'll stress you out (or in my case, alienate doctors you need to help you). Have you had an abnormal before?

    • If you feel like having her there would be stressful, just say that you appreciate her concern, but would rather not have company at that time. Perhaps suggest another time that's good for a visit.

      • yeah - I have a later sonogram to check for placenta previa that might be a better time. Good idea.

    • I'm sorry you're going through this. I felt this way about my Mom, but have always found that when it came down to it, she hasn't stress me out as much as I have thought she would.

    • You are emotional. Just ask her to be strong for you. You need her there

      • really? I've never heard the word dysplasia so much in my life until today. What does stage 0 entail? Were you pregnant? They'll be checking pp too of course but said if needed they'll remove some of the cervix at 28 wks. Any info apprecitated.
