I've been having the same concerns. Our hospital has visiting hours of 3-4pm and 7-8pm which they are not strict on, but I am going to tell everyone they are! I don't want people just turning up anytime they like. DP plans on sending out an 'arrival' txt on which he is going to ask people to call before visiting. I have also told DP that he is in charge of directing traffic. If I don't want visitors at a certain time or if someone outstays their welcome, I know I will just have to give him a 'look' and he will deal with it. Maybe I'll give him a code word
I think most people understand the pressures on a new mum and will respect your feelings/wishes. Let your DH deal with the ones who don't.
