Oh hun, crikey, no offence but that is so horrible of them to put upon you like that!
It totally depends on when you go into labour i guess and how long it takes. I didn't sleep at all on the monday night, by tuesday afternoon i was dozing and waking with each contraction, so not proper sleep. laboured all tuesday night then didn't sleep at all wednesday day... Then i had to stay in wednesday night.
When we got home on thursday i was sore and exhausted, fell asleep on the sofa... think we had one visitor who stayed 10 minutes and i could barely string a sentence together. As for going anywhere, don't think i left the house until the sunday. Only half an hour to our friends 8 doors down but left me totally drained, the 2 minute walk and the interaction!
thing is, depending on what time you have your baby, you might have to stay in. And even if your baby is an angel, you're probably going to be up at least 3 times a night. It's noisy and exhausting...
I cant believe they are putting upon you when you are either going to be heavily pregnant or with a newborn! very selfish of them!
Visitors for half an hour is one thing, people staying in your house for 4 days? hmmm
I'd put your foot down hun.
Are they still planning on coming even if baby is here by then?
Also, if you are planning on breastfeeding, it's not exactly comfortable at first, took me a while to get baby into position etc. During which time he wriggled and cried. Then even the gravity of walking up and downstairs made my boobs hurt!
BTW, that nursing bra that was recommended to me is absolute heaven! https://www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=112
