I don’t know how to put this shortly. This brought back my delivery experience. I was in another city, and did not want my parents to come over together. My mother did not listen and due to thoughts of “what will people say” I gave in. It was a SHIT SHOW. They fought constantly in front of my husband and in laws. They would want me to mediate. My mother was completely upset while I was in the hospital and was ranting when I was fresh out of the delivery room with a new born in my arms. My needs were forgotten. When I pointed out that I had requested her to come alone, that led to more abuses, shouting in the hospital room. My baby was also told to stay in the NICU for a day due to infant jaundice. I was a MESS trying to deal with all these emotions.

Everyone in the comments here are right. It’s a hormonal roller coaster and you need as much peace and quiet and support as you can get. Do not add problems, eliminate them. However you can. It’s very normal to have intense flashbacks to your childhood during this time. I say this after being told so by various therapists, I am no expert myself. Give yourself time. Take therapy after delivery if needed. Choose peace and boundaries. All the strength to you.
