[quote=Anonymous]OP, you and DH will need help after the baby arrives.  Don't turn the nice gesture into battle.  You will need to eat well to recover and to produce breastmilk, there will be a lot of laundry to do from you and your baby.  Baby needs diaper change so often, and the throwing ups, burping and holding upright after nursing.  DH can be clueless and his mom can really be helpful.  On top of that, it is really nice to be able to share the first few magic hours after the baby is out with people that love and care for you, DH and the baby.  When the second baby comes along, you also need help looking after your first born while you are handling the new born.  I would say, step back, don't think of this as a compromise, think of this as a celebration and embrace all the love and help you can get.  That being said, you can of course request everyone to washing their hands before touching the baby, ask DH to remind everyone to cover their months when sneezing, and whatever rules you want to set up.  This is a big moment for you, DH and the grandparents, embrace it and enjoy it.[/quote]
