So I'm a week from my due date, and the closer it gets, the less tolerance for people I have. I'm having a home birth in the Family Home (my parent's house) and I love my parent's to death. My husband's family isn't really in the picture, so that's not a big deal, but I find I want to be really selfish with my baby. I don't want anyone other than me or my husband to hold him for at least a few hours after he's born - and for God's sake I don't want anyone kissing him. Especially on the mouth. I don't want people taking him from me - family or not. I've seen the look of despair on a new mom's face when some relative or visitor snatches their baby, wont give them back and passes them around the room while baby screams. I'm not saying I don't want anyone to hold him ever, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set boundaries without getting anyone's feathers in a bunch. It's doubly hard since my sister just had her baby and not 20 minutes after delivery was letting eveyone hold him. Albiet, it's her second baby, but unfortunately it's made the rest of our family expect the same from me. Any advice?
