Yep im with 'doing whats best for bub' .... you never know you could have a night from hell or anything wth a new or newish newborn
This year i would say be selfish and your family will understand and if they dont well a bit of bad luck hey !
Have a sleep in, turn up for lunch go home for time out for you all then turn up for tea and then an early night.
Being your first your eyes will most likely be hanging out of your head through lack of sleep and trying to learn the ropes of being a Mum so rest as much as you can.
Remember to drink alot as when things are flat out it is hard to keep up the fluids.
Looking forward to the announcement along with all the other Christmas time babies
Thanks so much ladies for the advice and the confidence boost. I find it hard to say no but I will do it for bubs and my best interest if i need to. Like a few of you said I won't be having her passed from pillar to post and then being overstimulated and not sleeping. I'm also concerned as they say a few days after birth you get the blues, so I could be very emotional, learning how to BF, recovering etc. Maybe we can just make an appearance an hr or 2 at each family and head home in between.
Thanks again everyone
