@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
