[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't know this was expected so maybe it's not as common of an assumption as you think. That said, thinking of my close friends and family who would be the first people to visit, I wouldn't hesitate to say "Hey if you're coming by, can you pick up some food? I'll give you some money when you get here." Key word being "close". Or take up the offer from those friends/family who say "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help." You can't just expect people to help if you don't ask.[/quote]

This.

I was going to ask if there's something about having a baby that makes you want to be martyr and victim, but obviously not everyone feels that way. [/quote]

Same here. I can't remember if people brought me food except my one, oldest friend who made my favorite baked goods for me. Mostly if people came over for any length of time, we ordered. I remember with younger DS, I was still in the hospital post c-section and DH got into a fight with his mother about getting dinner for them all including older DD, and he was ticked he had to do it himself instead of my MIL. Most people visited while one or more set of our parents were in town so there was always someone to find something to eat. We also live in the city less than 2 blocks from restaurants and markets.[/quote]
