I’ve still got a ways to go, 26 weeks on Friday, and just wanted to see what works for everyone or if anyone has advice!

So, my question is, did you have family help after delivery? No one will be with us during delivery except my husband, midwife and doula. We can’t decide if we want my dad and stepmom to be at our house and help us with food, cleaning, etc. Or if we just want a few days to ourselves before we ask for help.

My mom says we probably don’t need help. My dad says we’re gonna want someone to cook and clean and just be there in case we need anything.
