family & firend coming to visit

[Doodlebug]

I was very wary of visitors in hospital. Some of my family and friends can be quite overbearing and not take a hint to leave!

I ended up speaking to one of the midwives who gave me a sign to put on the door advising people that visits were to be kept to a minimum under dr's orders!

Kind of cheeky, but it gave me peace of mind, time to get used to being a mum and time on our own as a new family without people hanging round for hours at a time.

We told the IL's that we were having no visitors (including them) on the first day. Visiting hours were in the arvo so that meant i didnt have to see them until around 3pm on the second day.. this gave them the hint to leave us alone for a few days when we got home with DS as well.

or, if you know when you are having visitors (or even when they arrive) you could all go and sit in the visitors area, and if bub becomes grumbly, you could excuse yourself and bub back to the privacy of your room
