Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough for you. It looks like you are seeing unheard and unseen and helpless by your husband. Being pregnant is a challenge in itself and your husband is not able to fully appreciate that and respect the request and expectations you have of him given this vulnerable moment. It looks like sun consciously there are emotions that need to be worked out. We have to create a safe space for you where you can share these emotions and allow them to flow. Once the emotions are processed and let out in a safe space you will feel much more in control of yourself and your situation and you will be able to make a decision about what you want and how you want to do it. You are a brave woman! Stay.

Hi
You have been living with parents since ten months due to pregnancy and delivery. Your baby is three months old and your husband is coming to take you and your baby back home. You want to spend more time at home and you want to be at home for at least two months. It seems like you want to get emotional support from parents. You are a first time mother and it is natural to want support from parents and family. It is also natural to feel stressed about managing your baby alone. What you are going through is stress and anxiety about being a mother because you are a first time mother. In order to determine if you could have postpartum depression it is necessary to know if you are having certain symptoms such as mood changes, loss of appetite, lack of concentration, lack of sleep, irritability, and anxiety.
To feel better consult a psychologist and talk about what you are going through. You can become emotionally strong. Counselling sessions will help you. You can talk about your concerns with your husband. You can explain to him about how you feel.

Hi... Please involve your doctor (gynaecologist) into this decision making process. Doctors advise will work best in this case in order to do what's best for the kid and the mother both.
Presently your husband might be facing issues as he has been separated from you and the baby for a long time and his presence is also important for the baby, you, and him as well as a father.
Try not to unfold this as a typical marital issue where the husband/in-laws get insecure about the wife/daughter-in-law's excessive attachment to her parents and unwillingness to value her newly formed relationships.
If nothing works, talk straight to your husband with confidence and tell him that you want to stay for 2 more months and that you are aware of his constraints but this is what you feel right now is best for you and the baby.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.

If you want to be emotionally strong, just accept what is happening to you. Just be aware and write down your feelings and thoughts in a book. Continue to write untill you feel relaxed from inside.
Then take 7 deep breaths and listen to some music for 10 mins.
I hope by doing this you feel little better. Now ask yourself what is important in your life and write them down.
Discuss with your parents and husband, do what makes you feel comfortable and good.
Take care.
