Hi all, Just been having a discussion with OH about when baby is born (8 weeks hopefully), we're trying to decide what would be best when LO arrives!
I'm not keen on visitors as it is so the thought of having visitors after giving birth is making me anxious. Would IBU to tell people not to visit for at least a week and if I feel up for it sooner, we will let them know?
This will be the first grandad child on both sides and as you can imagine everyone is VERY excited! The thing is OH has a lot of family as his parents are separated with new partners, step brothers etc. The thought of so many people coming and going overwhelms me, especially seeing as I don't know how the birth will go and how I'll feel after! (It's going to go nice and smooth, if I keep telling myself this it will haha!)
My OH is very supportive and says its up to me and how I feel, but I know people are going to be impatient and pushy!
The other thing worrying me is if we do say no visitors, what if I want my Mum here to help? This might put out MIL?
Thanks for bearing with me! So AIBU? Would telling people not to come right away be unreasonable?
