1 Day of Privacy- UPDATED
I am feeling some tyoe of way right now. I am scheduled for my C Section this Tuesday. Once done with everything they said I will be in my room around 4pm. This is after arriving to the hospital at 930am. Now I had my 1st son via C Section and between my in and out of being coherient I was not happy with all the guest. Like can I atleast come down off the drugs Im on?! So this time I said to my spouse that I want everyone to wait until the next day to start visiting. I mean we wont be available until after 4pm anyway. I just want it to be me, my SO, and new daughter. Well of course the grandparents are whinning about it, telling me Im wrong and selfish. And now my SO is like they are just as excited as us. Im sooooo pissed. Last time I just felt so exposed and vunerable. Am I wrong? Am I being selfish? So I said fine they can come see the baby but not me. I will let nurses amd and everyone know. You can take the baby to them somewhere else in the hospital.
Ladies, I just want to say THANK YOU. You're comments and shared experiences really have brought affirmation and confidence in my decision. Tomorrow I will be having my c section and will be visitor free! I'm worried that everyone will show up as soon as visiting hours begin on Wednesday but I have the ability to call time-outs and definately will do so when I feel overwhelmed. Thank you!
