Did your Mom stay with you after delivery??

Question

So my mom really wants to come stay with us for a few weeks after I deliver. She lives in Chicago and I'm in Denver.. However my husband wants the first week to just be me and him
& baby. Anyone have their mother come stay the first few weeks and help out? Feedback pleassssse ❤️

Answer

My mom lives 2 states away her plane tickets are set for a week before baby is due (I'm hoping that I deliver that day 😉) she will be staying with us for 3 weeks. I want my mom to stay with us and baby as long as possible.

Answer

Depends on how close you are with your mother. If this is yours and your husband's first child and you are close your mom it might help. I had my mom stay with me although my SO was trying to help me BF he's never done it before so he could only help soo much. Also helps to have her around to make yummy food and help clean up so mom and dad can spend all the time they want focusing on the baby. That being said once my mom left I called her all the time with random questions and got along just fine so it depends on your relationship with your mother and your knowledge of caring for a newborn, phone calls work just a good :)

Answer

My mom lives near by and stayed a few nights with baby #1.

Answer

We live in colorado springs and my mother in law in denver but there is no chance I would want her to stay with us after the baby is here. My family lives in Europe so there is no real discussion if they can come and help out.. But my MIL would totally stress me out!
But it depends on your relationship. If it's good and you are close then it can be a great help but I think if it's your first baby you don't need a 3rd person around the house because it will be new for both of you to adjust to the little baby  :)

Answer

No. My mom not my MIL stayed with us. I preferred it that way honestly. This time around I prefer it again.

Answer

My mom will for a couple of weeks on the days she is off bc my husband works night shift and won't be able to call off

Answer

I'm
Gonna go live w my mom for a month after my delivery. It's new for me too and I am the one that's gonna be taking care of the baby most of the time. I think we deserve to be w our mom since that's when we feel most emotional and needy. Plus learning from mom is not bad at all. Good luck. (I hope I make sense) lol

Answer

My mom came for a few days. I was reluctant but it was great!! I had a c section and she helped with laundry and cooking. She also watched my son for an hour or two so I could shower and have a little nap. I hope she comes for this baby too!!

Answer

My mom will be staying with me for two weeks after I have my twins. My husband can't take too much time off of work and I'll need help with my older kids getting them off to school. I think it's going to be a big help

Answer

My mom waited a week before coming down, because my husband wanted time for us to bond as a little family. By the time she came I had my schedule as did my daughter and my hubby was going back to work, for us it was the time we needed but if you are doing it for the first few weeks by yourself, it can become stressful and overwhelming.
