To tell or not?

Question

When do you plan on letting everyone know when things are happening, when you first go into labor? Or after baby is born to have privacy and not so many people around?

Answer

My husband and I have agreed that we won't be telling anyone about our baby's arrival until he's here. Even family. His parents are the type of people that would show up and wait in the waiting room for hours as I would be laboring. And not that that's not okay, I just don't want to feel rushed or pressured into letting visitors in right away when our baby arrives. I feel that those first 24 hours of a new baby should just be spent with the mom and dad without interruption (aside from hospital staff). So no visitors and notification of his birth until that first 24 hours of him being in our arms💙☺️

Answer

A mix of both - v close family (mom, dad, maybe my sis) will know as soon as things are happening, rest of the family / friends can get word once baby is here.

Answer

just my husband and parents. Mine and his. I don't need anyone else around me.

Answer

My immediate family and my bf as well will know..like out moms and dads brothers and sister...but everyone else will know when he's born..
I don't want a ton of people blowing up our phones or Facebook pictures or people waiting in the waiting room...I have anxiety and I'm very anxious about him being born (I had a very complicated pregnancy)
I want just a strong core group of people there for support..

Answer

Our plan in to tell everyone that we are going and they are on standby...meaning don't come to the hospital yet. My mom lives in a different state and my mil is like a mother to me...so I do realize that all though right now I only want my husband there I may get scared or need more support in which case I'll ask her to come. Other than that we will have everyone come an hour or so after he is born. I definitely want at least an hour with just my husband and I. Like a few others have said I don't want a bunch of people in the waiting room, that freaks me out just to think about for some reason. LOL!

Answer

Yeah. My MIL is gonna be posting all over Facebook and trying to get to the hospital asap. When Work is a family thing family time means that everyone is included lol.

Answer

I don't really have a choice..  my husband works with his father and if I go into labor while my husband is at work and has to leave he has to call his father and in return my mother in law will be called so it's a catch 22.
