Will any of you have a family member live with you for a few weeks after LO is born to "help out"?
I know my situation is a bit different from most people's because we're going to be moving from Ireland to England within a couple of weeks of Spud being born. My sister has said she'll move over with us for a couple of weeks to help us settle in. It's a lovely thought but first of all, my sister and I couldn't be any more incompatible living together, we would kill each other after more than a couple of days. Even if this wasn't the case, I can't help but think that we're going to have to cope with Spud on our own at some point so why not get on with it? My DH is great and will definitely take on his fair share of responsibility so I'm really not worried.
I'm just a bit worried now that we're being a bit naive about how difficult it will be, I know having a first baby will be a massive adjustment but we can do it!! Just interested in seeing what everyone else is doing...
