What is wrong with me?

Question

I honestly don’t want visitors that aren’t our parents at the hospital or when I get home for at least a week. 
I was so excited in the beginning for everyone to meet her & stuff but the closer we get to my due date I don’t want anyone around her & I don’t know why I feel that way.. 
I feel like I just want the hospital & first week to be just for me & my SO. 
My mom will be in the delivery room so obviously she’ll meet her. 
I just don’t know why I’m in this funk & I can’t get out of it. I think I’m just being overly protective.. I don’t know..

Answer

I think it’s reasonable 🤷🏼‍♀️ i probably won’t let tons of friends and family meet our baby until she’s a month old. I want time to adjust to having a new baby and bonding and plus I don’t want to expose her to lots of germs before she begin to build immunity

Answer

I feel the same exact way! I think it’s beautiful to just share those first few days with your husband and new addition  ❤️

Answer

Good! & don’t feel bad bad either! I had my first baby in the winter and I waited 3 months to let anyone see her! I hate germs 😂😂🤘🏻besides our parents and my daughter great grandparents. Everyone was pissed bc I didn’t go to thanksgiving! Oh well everyone got over it and my baby didn’t get sick once until she was 1.

Answer

My mom can’t be there as she’s keeping my son. So I’m sad but my mother in law keeps trying to come be in the room and I don’t want her there. So we are thinking we’ll just not tell anyone except my mom until he comes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Totally agree with this, however I feel like we will extend this to siblings and close family. Is it bad though I’m hoping since this is our second kid and most everyone else has their own kids now that they may opt to wait a little while to come? 😉

Answer

I’m the same! Only immediate family visiting at hospital. 
And no friends till the baby is at least 6 weeks old and has had his injections. Too risky

Answer

With mine a few key people were fine, the only thing they i found hard was when people came right when he wanted to feed, or stayed long enough to where he wanted to feed. I felt so stupid going into the next room to feed him (not sure why),  but this time I just want to feed him when he wants and I don’t want to have to move. 
I like most of the ideas of not even telling till it’s been a week. I might try this

Answer

Emotional roller coaster! It may change when she comes. You can feel however you want about it!

Answer

I get it. Probably not even going to even tell anyone we had the baby until a week or so after he’s born. But we really just want to adjust to being a family before we get bombarded with calls and texts and visitors.

Answer

I don’t think anything is wrong with you! That is totally normal.. I talked today with the lady I nanny for and she said the same thing about having that feeling because that’s how I am feeling. It also could be because my husbands family is too much for me to handle and I live in a small house at the moment. I could go on forever honestly. His family just expects everything handed to them when they come and we don’t have money to house and feed a whole family and deal with younger siblings while I’m recovering with a newborn 😬😅
