When are you letting family come visit!

Question

& are you allowing small children like nieces and nephews? Are you paranoid about anything like flu, germs, being annoyed etc? I even just had a well meaning colleague say she wanted to come to the hospital?

Answer

Family only at hospital.
No kids at hospital.. if they do (just my nephew and niece) have to wash hands and mouth.
Absolutely no kissing whatsoever from any single person including me and my partner. 
Everybody must wash hands.
Outside family visitors allowed to come by my house after I’m discharged and settled in with the baby. Could be a couple extra days or a week. And that just includes close friends or family friends.
As for randoms or friends I rarely see? They don’t get that privilege at all. If you see me out and about? Cool. But you won’t see my son.

Answer

I’m not allowing any visitors the first few days! After the first week, family only and no small children! Nobody is allowed to see my baby that’s has a flu shot in the last couple of months as well due to shedding. I think it really depends on the mom and your energy! I’m a very private person and very holistic so having as few visitors as possible will be the most peaceful transition for MY family. You know what’s best for you!! ❤️

Answer

We aren’t having family (aside from my mom) come until 6 weeks. They have to travel from out of state and will likely have to stay with us. We don’t want anyone in our hair too soon

Answer

No visitors for a while. It is flu season in here, some people have even died. If you didn't believe in vaccination, my door is closed until it gets safer.

Answer

(Kind of a unique circumstance- I am adopted, and have a really close relationship with both my biological and adoptive mom.) 
I want absolutely no visitors for a minimum of two weeks, preferably four, but my biological mom lives ten minutes from us so I already know she’ll be over probably starting around two weeks, which is ok because she’s mega helpful and supportive and not pushy about anything. My adoptive mom is planning a visit around roughly five weeks, my boyfriend’s mom and sister (she’s an adult) and aunt are going to visit the week following her, and that’s really all we have planned so far. I personally am happy with this plan.
My biological mom has three other sons, 17, 9, and 6, and I’d be ok with them visiting in the hospital but don’t think I’ll want them over to our house until mayyybe that four week mark at the earliest. They’re all in school and still exposed to that mass of germs. My adoptive mom also has another son, 20, and I believe he’ll be visiting when she does, which is also just fine.
