[quote=Anonymous]NP here, currently pregnant with baby #2 and feeling so grateful that others felt like I did after baby #1. I wanted everyone to just go away and leave me with my baby. Especially the first week. I wanted DH around, but essentially at my whim. My poor mom drove me absolutely nuts. She had traveled to stay with us for the first week. Arrived on day 1 post birth. And by day 3 I wanted her to leave. I had a very emotional (for me) conversation saying she should go home. And DH actually intervened and was like, woah, He couldn’t do everything without her and and told me (in front of her) that I was making a mistake and he wanted her to stay! It was awful. I felt like the worst daughter. My mom took it in stride, and did stay the week, but it wasn’t the bonding and loving experience we likely both hoped for. This time around, we live further away and I’m secretly glad it will take our parents longer to arrive. I think we could use their help, but I also think I’m likely to feel totally overwhelmed by extra people in my space right away. [/quote]
