Been talking to OH bout visiting after...

[mumtobrandon]

I am hoping I will get more space with this baby. With Brandon, my mum was at the birth and as soon as I got home I had a living room full of people and it was all a bit too much.
Everyone trying to give me tips and asking me if I planned to have another!!!!!!!

I had to take Brandon upstairs to breastfeed and it did get to me, but you feel a bit helpless straight after having baby. I will certainly try and take more control over when and how many people visit at once after this child is born, I want it to be about the four of us and Brandon getting to know his new brother or sister.

I want my mum and OH's mum to be the 1st two people to see the baby, then i will let mine and OH's siters come round after that but without their children as wouldnt cope with that. as for anyone else, they can wait until i feel ready for them to come round and see me and LO

id prefer no one to come and see me in the hospital i think - but after we are home and settled i'll want my mum and dad as well as OH's mum and dad to come see us. i only want 1 or 2 people in the house at a time though, purely because ill be knackered

tbh i pretty much think that OH, his mum her boyfriend and his 2 sisters will be at hopsital after i give birth (or when i go into labour) and im hoping my parents will be able to make it down in time too (ill be living 250 miles away when bubs is born)

i dont mind close family being there as i know they want to be involved

and if my mum and dad are there then they'll be visiting as much as possible before they go back home

Its just im not close to my mum and i know she will respect my feelings she will have too.
My OH's Family all live in the same estate as us (big estate).
So they can come round when they like after calling first after a day or 2 my OH has only got 13 days off from work then he is back on shifts which doesnt leave him much time with us so i feel the first days should just be us.
But hey who knows things can change after the birth lol

I have a close family and me and OH both have lots of close friends who will be dying to see us and get involved!

After the birth, as soon as I'm decent my Mum, possibly my sister and OH's Mum will want to see me and beanie straight away. Then when me and LO are dressed, washed and had the first feed etc. I don't mind the others coming. I'm sure they'll all be lovely and considerate though - will just pop in for 5mins for a quick hold and if I'm shattered I'll get my OH to throw them out lol.

Once I'm at home I don't mind people coming either, as long as they know my house will be a tip and I won't be getting off my backside to make them anything - they can help themselves!!

I'm not making any decisions til the time, no one ever just turns up to our home anyway they always call/text first so will just wait and see how I feel at the time
