I am due March 24th with my first baby. My husband and I live in ND (military) and ALL of our family lives in FL. I have requested that no one comes up for the birth.. I just want it to be my husband and myself since it’s our first time. I know myself and I know I would be overwhelmed with 8-12 people waiting at the hospital with us if they came from out of state.

NOW everyone has respected my wishes (not without a fight though) and my mom, step dad, sisters, aunt and uncle are all coming up April 1-8 (one week after my due date/ they will all be staying in a hotel)

I guess what I’m looking for posting this is words of encouragement or positivity... I am nervous one week isn’t long enough and I’m going to still be in pain and tired just being barely home from the hospital.

Should I ask them to wait longer to come up? Am I being crazy and thinking too much about it? HELPPP. Tell me it will be ok lol
