Overnight visitors?

JessandJeremy

DH's family live out of town and will be coming nect weekend (I'm being induced next Tuesday) I really don't want people staying with us the first two weeks or so but feel I can't really say anything since my family is in town. How long are you waiting to have people come into town to visit?

AfterAll

My mom is coming in a week after the birth.  My sister, who lives an hour away will be coming home for a bit, but rather than staying with me as she usually does, she will stay with my father, 10 minutes away--I don't think she wants to be woken up by LO.

I do not have any out of town visitors so I cannot answer that but wanted to say hi - haven't seen you on high risk in a while and glad you are doing well! 

Also, my DS's name is Ethan James.... so I love your choice of name!

I'd say something if I were you! I have two children and I remember how I felt when I brought them home...I just wanted me, my husband, and my baby and that was it! I don't know; maybe some people don't mind as much but I know it was huge for me that it was only us at home in the beginning. I had people come over of course and visit for a few hours and help cook and clean and stuff, but they still went away at the end of the day. Big difference!

DH's parents live 5 mins down the road.  My parents are about a half hour away, so we don't have to worry about either of them. 

I'm due at the beginning of Dec.  My grandparents are coming from Missouri at Christmas and staying 1 night w/ us, and the other nights at family members.  DH's cousin from out-of-state is staying the day after Christmas w/ us and then that night.  If LO comes on her DD (yeah right!) then we'll have like 3 weeks before overnight company.

My mom has already told my brother that she's staying with him while I'm in the hospital (about 40 min from me).  My sister flies in 1 week after due date and will probably be staying here.  She's here for a week, so I'm sure mom and dad will both want to visit not only me and LO, but her as well.  I'm not sure what to do, but hope it's not too overwhelming...

I'd make them wait the two weeks.  No way would I have overnight visitors before that.  We don't allow ANY visitors at home for the first two weeks.  I don't think they really should get mad because it's different having local and distant relatives.  Local can leave.  If they want to come sooner, I'd have them stay in a hotel.  My parents live 1700 miles away and they waited 7 weeks to come see DD when she was born.  We went there after DS was born.  They knew my IL's would see DD before but that's just the way it is when you live out of town.

My mom is going to come when she is born and will stay with us for a week. She's the only visitor I think I could tolerate, though.

Hi! How are you doing? Are you off of bed rest or still on? I got off at 36 weeks and had no sign of the labor I had at 28 weeks. As for the name....you know what they say, great minds think alike

My mom and DH's mom are planning to come stay with us for 3-4 days, first my mom and then his to help with cooking/cleaning.  But they won't come until 1-2 weeks after we bring LO home so we have some time alone first to get our bearings.  I would totally have DH say something to his fam about staying in a hotel if I were you and if that's possible.

Well, H will be deployed and if they don't make it home early, he won't be able to come in for the birth. ?So, my mom will be coming up 1st of Nov ( Im due dec 1 ) and staying with me a week or so after she's born. ? ?We aren't planning on changing those plans if H gets to come home. ?I'm going to need my mommy. ?As for the ILs, I think they will be coming whenever I say Im in labor O_O. ?They want to see her brand spankin' new. ?Well, at least MIL does. ?I think FIL and SMIL might be waiting like a day or two. ?But who really knows.

I am still on bed rest - now on hospital bed rest... have been for 3 weeks and have a c/s scheduled for a week from today - so finally some light at the end of the tunnel. When It is all said and done, I will have done 101 days of BR. Only someone on bed rest would have the time to figure that out!!! Glad you are doing well!

Can they stay in a hotel or with your family?

My Mom is going to try and fly here for the delivery if the baby comes around the due date.  She will stay through Thanksgiving (which we will have at our house).  Dad will drive here for the holiday and then take her back with him.  I don't think 2 weeks will be bad because DH still has to work and my mom is really great.  Plus she is an amazing cook!  She will probably be so ready to leave when she goes home lol.

 This.  My mom will be staying with us to help us out, for a week or 2 after LO is born.  I am so grateful for this....she is already planning meals to make for us...and plans on helping in anyway she can (as well as getting to spend time with her first and only grandchild!)

I told my husband's family 2 weeks since they'll need to stay here. My mom is only a 2 hour drive so I said she could come to the hospital and then come up for visits a week after.

My mom will already be in FL so she's planning on coming back home for 1/21-2/21.  She will probably stay with us for about 2 weeks after the baby comes (I'm due 1/28).  She'll be here during the week (most likely) then probably go home on the weekends.  My husband is a teacher and he has off the 3rd week in February, so I think we'll be on our own by then.  My MIL lives an hour and 20 minutes away and she will not be staying with us (this might be news to her...).  She can come visit, but our place is too small to have her stay too.  I'm much more comfortable with my mom being there--she knows my tolerance level and knows just how to take care of me.  I need her there.  She's the only one who can be there besides for Colin.
