Visitors after birth

bscurt

Thank you everyone! My DH isn't on the same page as me, since he wants to see his family, too. So what I've decided to do is put my foot down to NO hospital visitors - NO visitors when we first arrive home (unless I request someone to come help) and to limit the amount of time people are allowed to stay in our tiny, two bedroom apartment. I'm going to take your advice on BFing in another room as a queue from them to get out. I understand everyone is excited, but I feel like a dog and pony show with all the families here waiting for me to pop and then staying for a long time after. I may send an email in a few weeks and explain my situation. I also told DH that if he leaves me alone to catch a beer with his dad or go to dinner, I will be PISSED. This is our time, and he understood. I can see how it would make more sense to have someone there if there are older kids, but my MIL is so selfish and crazy and I'm so scared to have her sitting in my house, taking the baby away from me and not leaving.

Well, here's to hoping we all get our wishes and family respects our time as new moms!!!
