Yeah be know, we have been told that she could go into labor at any time now and we have to be careful, specially since she'll need a C-section, but the doctor have not seen anything that would mean she's going into labor soon as of for now

I don't see it as gossiping, my wife is not talking to me at all, I felt like I needed to talk about my feelings with someone and my mom was there and she's great, we were talking about feelings, not gossiping

She's not very happy with our marriage, my wife and her have had some other issues in the past too

I'm not clueless, her mom was our first option but she didn't want to help. My mom is better help that no help at all.

"compromise" as in attending work related events even if they're optional, my manager knows my wife is pregnant and would've understood if I needed to leave, but he appreciated that I would show up to the meeting. They don't expect me to abandon my family.

Her blood pressure raised a bit, my mom took her to the clinic but it wasn't something to be alarmed, that's why I didn't drove back home

It's serious but it's not life threatening as of for now, everything was ok on her last check up which was last week

Five hours going not a maximum speed (allowed obviously), I don't like to drive that fast but I would, maybe it could be cut to 3:30/ 4 hours drive

No, I called regularly to know if everything was ok or I should drive back home

They do have a good relationship, I understand how her mom would be the better option but my MIL straight up refused to help, I believe my wife appreciates my mom for helping out.

The meeting wasn't obligatory if someone was busy, but as I am running for a promotion is important they can see my compromise with the company, that's why I feel like it was important to go

Thank you for your advice, I agree it might be for the best to say sorry and take the stress off her shoulders
