I totally know what you mean, and it seems like alot of people feel the same way. I knew I'd be tired after the birth, but I didnt expect to be as tired as I was. Firstly, I had a 36 hr labour and by the end of it I was exhausted, I never had any sleep. Then as soon as she popped out everyone was waiting in the waiting room! Sooo annoying, here I am wanting to rest and start BFing but I've got in laws, cousins, nannas etc looking on. AND not to mention my MIL rocked up on the second day I was in hospital and stayed for the whole entire day including the non visiting hrs. Next time I will know better and tell them to wait till I get home. I strongly advise you to keep family away (even if you want your mum etc to come in just get them to come in for half an hr) If they wont respect your wishes, then they are very rude. Grr this makes me angry, i'm still stewing about what happened to me hehehe
