When are you allowing visitors?

Question

Right away? After a few hours? Or not until you're home for x amount of time?
And why?

Answer

Close family can visit the hospital after skin to skin time and I have showered and changed. I don't want people in my business when I look all gross.
If they do not come to the hospital, two weeks after we are home so we can have alone time and get used to somewhat of a routine.

Answer

After a few weeks of being settled in. I don’t want to entertain people while adjusting to a new life with 3 littles. I learned my lesson after my first. When I had my second I was living out of state and it was so nice to not have anyone around.

Answer

My husband will be the only one in the room with me and then after skin to skin and we’ve settled down a little then only our parents can come in. All other family and friends will have to wait until we’re home and I’m ready! But I don’t care if our parents see me struggling or in pain and won’t overstay their welcome so I don’t mind them

Answer

If all goes well then our immediate families (our parents and siblings) will visit at the hospital when we’ve had a chance to settle in to our room after the birth. It might also depend on exactly when the baby is born as well as they won’t come in if it’s the middle of the night, they’ll just wait until the next morning. A couple of close friends will visit when we’re home 2-3 days after the birth and everyone else (extended family, other friends) can come later when we’re settled.
It will be just me and my SO present for the birth.
We’ve let our immediate families know we’ll call them when we’re ready for them to come in just in case things don’t go to plan and we’re not up for visitors that soon.
It is important that my SO and I get time to bond first before we introduce others.

Answer

anyone is welcome anytime but most understand I'm comfortable breastfeeding uncovered so if they aren't comfortable they are welcome to cover themselves or move to a private room 🤣

Answer

never!!! pushy ass people want to invade my space way too soon and I am pissed.  I am having a c section, possibly with anesthesia and they think its going to be a damn party.  they will all wait until we give the go ahead.

Answer

Right now we have it set, no visitors until 2 weeks. Because i just don’t know how I’m going to feel and I don’t like people around especially when I’m practically immobile. But we’re open to visitors at the hospital but I don’t want to let anyone know in case I don’t want to see anyone.

Answer

Not until several weeks after birth. Id take her to visit them. 
I have no family here in town. I dont want people flying in while Im adjusting to a new life. Them coming to “help” is more stressful to me. Because my mom passed away so its aunts - who Id feel I need to entertain. Friends - and I dont have CLOSE friends so again, feel have to entertain. Or my brother has said he wants to come but he is delayed and would be more of a headache than help.

Answer

I delivered my first in the middle of the night so no one came until like the afternoon or next day. I prefer whoever comes to the hospital bc I don't like pop ups at my house. Anyone extra that doesn't make it to the hospital will have to wait 6 weeks. I don't want everybody over here thanksgiving

Answer

Only immediate family.. tbh I don’t want anyone to visit. Just my sisters & my mom..
