[quote=Anonymous]Stand your ground. Tell them no visitors staying at your house for x weeks after the baby is born. If they are insistent and making life miserable for you (as my own mother did) tell them that if they don't lay off you will delay telling them the news the baby is born until a few days afterwards. Seriously, I wish we had done that (not shared the news immediately with my family, just to have some peace). Also, I wish I hadn't gotten on the phone with my mother after the baby was born. I was in no shape to take on her badgering about letting her and my father come to visit a asap and gave in. We have a tiny house and it was not pleasant those first few weeks to have unhelpful visitors, especially as I was a physical wreck and had a terrible time with nursing, sleeping, etc. etc. So if you fear pressure like that, make your DH be the one who talks to family. Good luck. If it's stressing you out too much, don't take phone calls. [/quote]
