I only had a couple of visitors to the hospital..But my MIL was over form NZ staying with us and long story short, she was there EVERY DAY ALL DAY - drove me bonkers. By the time I go tot day3 I was beside myself, in tears to hubby and with no patience to speak of, barely speaking to her or acknowledging her presence. It was horrible.

I really would let people know that you dont want visitors to begin with and you will let people know when you are ready. That way there is no confusion and you can invite people to the hospital that you truly want there

GL with the birth!!
