No Visitor rule at the hospital

[LiddlePixie]

Hi ~

I completely know how you feel, I had an elective C-sec because bubby was breech, I was booked in for 2pm but they were running late...
we were keeping MIL updated on how things were going so DF called her at about 2:30 to tell her i wasn't going in for another hour or so, however she didn't answer her phone and instead showed up at the hospy about 10 minutes later (we thought we were safe because she lives hours away, but she was waiting outside & we didn't even know!!), not by herself but with 4, YUP FOUR other random people from DF's extended family that HE barely even knows because she thought he was calling to say i'd had the baby, We sent them away and they kept coming back every half hour, They, as well as my mum, were all there waiting for us when i come back from recovery. I was so angry, I wanted to feed Scarlet but i couldn't, i wanted to recover from the C-sec but i couldn't, I didn't want to talk to them about the birth because i was wrecked & I really didn't want scarlet being passed around at only 3hrs (if that) old.
DF & i really needed some time to 'come down' we were both in awe, shock and total amazement.

I only stayed in hospital for 2 days so they all could have waited!

Other visitors were great, like my sister who come in for about 5 mins to give me pressies, hugs, see bubby, wish me well then leave.

My experience was so bad that if i ever have another baby i'm considering hiring a bouncer!

ETA: Oh i forgot to mention the mobile phone photo's, They took hundreds of me and scarlet & proceeded to sms them to every living family member they had a phone number for. *sigh* I am not usually a vain person but i really didn't need Shannon's uncle's girlfriend's sister's cousin's BIL's next door neighbour having pictures of me wearing a big purple tent-like hospital gown, with my BB's hanging out after just having a major operation.
