i remember so many people visited! i was overwhelmed! when we have our next, i think i will just make a rule that nobody visits until i am ready! DP's cousin and her DH turned up unannounced when DP has gone home for a shower (i don't even know them well!) and i was so annoyed. they wouldn't go away! i know they meant well but his cousin just kept going on and on about negative stuff regarding newborns and i was OVER IT in the end!!!

ask ANY midwife and they will tell you how annoying it is when people visit all the time! my midwives were telling me i had to be firm with visitors about visiting times. but i felt so awful not being straight up with the visitors. next time though, look out! midwives are so lovely, they really look out for you
