blondie9504 (877.7 days ago) I didn`t want any visitors at all. I`m greedy! My Mom and I don`t get along, my Dad was mad at me because I wasn`t married before having a baby, and we don`t talk to my SO`s family at all. The only people I didn`t care that came to visit was my Grandparents. I`m an only child and we have a REALLY small family so my Grandma and I are close. They came to the hospital to visit. I called Gram at 2:30 in the morning to tell her I had the baby and she was at the hospital by 5 AM waiting to see Alesha lol. My Grandparents are earlybirds though and they had been waiting for 9 months so they were a little impatient. I still don`t like people to visit and I will Not let anyone hold my baby unless its my grandparents. Gram and I are both freaky about germs because she just got done with chemo.
RobinG (877.7 days ago) When the mom wants you there :) some want you the day they come home, some a few days later some sometime later :) It really depends on the mom ~ I personally wanted all my visitors the first couple days while I was on my adreniline rush so I had some time then after to myself when my hormones crashed and I was worn out and didnt want visitors.
5against1 (877.8 days ago) i told every1 who wanted to see the baby that they better visit at the hospital because im not opening my door at home until around 2 weeks...i didnt want to worry about cleanin, entertaining, havin enuf food or drinks in the fridge. i wanted to have a routine 1st.
mskitty (877.8 days ago) Well I think it depends on your relationship with the person. For family- I`m usually at the hospital and house right away. I had one friend that`s a spaz so we didn`t go until she called, which was like a week or two. But normally I think 3-4 days is good. I was in good shape, after birth so I didnt` mind early visitors!
