Don’t want to see people after having my baby .
Show your support
Definitely not. They can wait. It is your baby and what you’re comfortable with. You may hurt feelings but you are looking out for your babies health and they need to understand that. Don’t let nobody pressure you into anything when it comes to your baby.
It’s totally normal for you to feel like that. We did no visitors, only close family for the first 2 weeks as my partner was home and i wanted them to bond and for us time have time alone as a family. Then my friends came over when he was in work which was really nice as the days can be long and during that time you need your friends
Very normal to be protective, i was the same. 😁
Just tell people you're recovering right now and it isnt a good time. You can also throw in that you're trying to adjust to things and you're super exhausted. Tell them you will let them know when you're feeling up to it
I guess it’s normal to feel like that but on the other hand you don’t wanna push everyone away and feel isolated coz that’s the #1 reason why most women fall into depression, PPD of isolation and no support. I didn’t get PPD for any of my 3 babies but I welcomed family and friends in hospital and at home, people came w food or coffee or just support, checking up on me. It was really nice. I have lots of photos of other people holding my baby, feeding my baby ebm etc. My baby was pretty easy growing up because he was passed around and I didn’t have a clingy or Velcro baby. Just have a good balance mama
Give yourself a little time! Bond, start recovery, rest. I think it’s pretty normal to wait a week or two and then allow close family (and friends if you choose) to visit. I think I’m going to say after a week of being home, we are now ready for visitors— please plan to come this Saturday or Sunday between the hours of 2-4pm. One hour tops. Something along those line. I don’t want to entertain and I know imma be a moody mess. It’s normal to feel protective. I already do and she’s not even here yet. Feel things out!
Very normal 💕
I'm due in September and we have already said no visitors for the first 2 weeks, as we want time to bond with the baby. Most people want time to recover and bond so others need to respect that. If people continue to call or text, I'd reply with "Thanks for the message.At present, I would appreciate no visitors so I can spend time bonding with baby and recover. I will reach out when we're ready for visitors".
