If your family wasn't at the hospital... when did you tell them you were in labor?

    @Mae: our families are both out of state. I called my parents after my water broke to let them know things had started but everything happened too fast to call my in-laws. We called them and my parents after baby had arrived--I had a very fast 3-hour labor. I think it's fine to let your in-laws know you're in labor (if you want to) and then not give updates. I'd wait and see how you feel in the moment! I think you're right that it won't be high on your priority list to update them during labor. You'll be just a little busy.

    I know my aunt rang my dad and sister once we were at the hospital (my aunt was our support person)... I assume at some point DH rang his parents to say it was all systems go but I don't remember - I was pretty high on the gas LOL

    We didn't. First they knew was when we called them after LO arrived.
