[quote=Anonymous]Tell them they can make a quick visit about 3 - 5 weeks AFTER the baby is born! Don't be a pushover. With a first baby, you will want to rest and recover and adjust to taking care of the baby. You won't need anyone's help except DH. This may change with a 2nd or 3rd child as you would need someone to watch the other children while you are in hospital. Don't give in. Be polite but firm. Explain that you will not be up to having company. You will be exhausted and adjusting to your new role. You don't need help. You need understanding. And when they do visit, it needs to be a quick visit. [/quote]
