[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will they be helpful?  You and DH will need support the first six weeks - who will be providing that?   Isolating from everyone for two months is a risk factor for PPD.  You need a community, so if they will be helpful and kind, grandparents are a great place to start.

If your parents are coming and not DH’s, and they are both vaccinated and helpful people, that’s a problem, but I don’t want to project.  [/quote]

The spouse supports the new mother and newborn. [/quote]

White people!!!  This is what family is for, my mom stayed with us for two months both times, she was so amazingly helpful. She took care of me, helped with the baby, fed us, let us get rest. It was truly wonderful.[/quote]

But can’t you understand that not every mother is helpful? My mother never cooked or cleaned anything when she visited me once I moved out. She wanted to be waited on hand and foot. She wanted to watch me and make comments or ask questions, or ignored and okayed on the iPad she brought. [/quote]
