We are expecting our first this August, we live in London remotely from our family living mostly in France.
They are planning to come after the birth. My mother will be coming for three weeks, my In laws and SIL for a week right after that. Another SiL and cousin planning on visiting as well as my father and his girlfriend.
They are mostly taking round, planning on supporting us and not staying with us but it somehow feels very much overwhelming. I'm worry that- while we might need help- we might want to be just all three of us and enjoy our new family. I don't want to stop anyone to see our little girl but this all sound too much and we just don't know what will happen after birth and how we will feel.
Did you had visitors after birth? Was it mostly invasive or helpful? How can I handle this without hurting anyone but yet protecting my sanity. Thank you!
With the covid situation, this thread might be quite irrelevant but would like to anticipate a non-covid situation.
