[quote=Anonymous]OP, of course you and your DH get to make this decision and stand behind it. But you aren't entitled to blindly accepting that decision without comment or without being upset. As you've seen from the replies, the length of time you expect to go without ANYONE other than you and DH interacting with your baby is, to many/most people, excessive. And for an excited new grandparent it can be hurtful to deny them the opportunity to see that newborn. (Yes, your desires trump theirs, but theirs do matter just a little.) That being said, you are 8mo pregnant and I'm sure the anxiety is high and the hormones are crazy. Everybody should be gentle with you and your DH. This isn't a debate for today. If I were your ILs, I would let it ride. There is a pretty decent chance that if they call you two weeks after birth and offer/request to stop by for a few hours- bringing you food or doing something else that helps, you will be totally fine with it.[/quote]
