Want an hour skin to skin after birth but husband wants visitors

Megan
So I want to have 1 hour of skin to skin where I just hold the baby as soon as he's born so I can establish breastfeeding. I told my husband what I wanted to do and he is fine with that but he doesn't want to keep family from coming in right after he's born. I didn't know what to say because I don't really want people coming in and out while I'm trying to breastfeed for the first time and I don't want people to try and take him out of my arms during that first hour. I'm not sure how to tell my husband that I don't really want other people in there right after I gave birth. Can't people wait another hour?! It's not like my baby is gonna change from the time he comes out of me to a hour later. I feel like my husband will be upset if I don't want people in there for an hour after.
