Visitors

I personally wouldn’t change your decision, you have to do what is best for you! Hopefully they will be okay once they get used to the idea xx

I would stick to your decision. My parents will have my toddler when baby is born. When I said to them about bringing her to the hospital after baby is born they actually said they would just drop her to my husband at the entrance and wouldn't come in (which is what we wanted but they mentioned first)

Back yourself and what you want! You may really regret it if you bend just to please other people! X

They should respect your decision and allow you and baby to settle in and allow you to have those first few days with baby 👶

Please don’t change your mind, let them be annoyed, you will never get those memories back and it’s important for you to be happy with what you and your little family want, not what family and friends want. Don’t let anyone change what you want to do xx

Best thing I EVER did with my second was saying no to visitors. When I had my first our house was just a constant stream of people and I hated it. I was in pain from my csection and trying to learn how to breastfeed and it was just a joke! With my second I said no visitors until we say so. I'm having my third tomorrow and I've said the same!!! Stick to your guns babe!!! It's not a time for anyone else it's your time!! People can wait xxx

2 days only? I"ve told my partner I don't want to see anyone visiting for the first 2 months🤭 i want to get used to baby and recover after c-section not being stressed out by visitors, we'll receive visitors once ready. If they don't understand this oh well then they need to educate themselves more, to see what is happening with a woman that just gave birth...

2 days?!?! That's nothing! I wouldn't back down on that, you need some time with your new baby too! If you were saying 2 weeks I'd be a bit more understanding of them but 2 days?!?! Nah, take your 2 days, recover, have your family time.

Not to offend anyone. But I got no bloody idea what this is. Is this an English thing ladies?? I see these posts all the time and just don't get it 🤯🤯🤔🤔🙈🙈 Where I'm from no one, absolutely NO ONE got any visitors for minimum of 6 weeks. Half of the 4th trimester. Because we absolutely need this time to heal our bodies and mind and to bond with baby and establish the new family 😊😊❤️ How is it OK and acceptable in England to be bleeding to your nappy/pad, have sore leaking nipples, possibly stitches down there or c section scar and accept visitors?? Or even how is it OK for someone to assume it is fine for them to visit?? I find it rude, disrespectful and stupid AF(from the visitors) I get the pressure you might be getting. My husband is English so I told him very early on that I won't be having anyone for minimum of 1 month. Then see how I feel. He absolutely respects that and told his friends and fam and nobody dared to question it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I wanted to impose this rule too… I’ve said no hospital visits as I need to stay in with baby for a day or two after… Luckily my sister and her hubby have taken my mum on holiday this week so hopefully baby will be here soon (induction Wednesday) but my mother said today that she’d see me at the weekend 😖 so nobody is actually going to listen to me saying no anyway…

@Kirsty not to be rude but apart from midwives and health visitors I would not open the door, you need this time. Your mom should defo understand your position as she's been through this when you were in her tummy😇

It’s whatever you want plus your house and kids plus quality time with family.They obligated to feel how they feel but so are you wish your own wishes.Don’t change your decision they can wait.

@Kirsty the only person I know I'm having is my mum and that's because she's my birth partner and she's helping me get established with breast feeding in the very early days. Even she's said she's got time off put aside for it and will be guided on what I want and need and that we need our time too. I'm hoping my in laws will be that understanding too. I know what you mean though, I'm hoping my partner will back me up or I'll be able to at least limit it to our parents.

I done it for. Week and my family were fuming. Don’t give in. Give yourself time with your family. X
