i haven't read all the responses so not sure if this is already covered... but one of the things i wish i had of known was, how much i DIDN'T feel like visitors.... pre labour i wanted as many visitors as possible and was actually worried about not having many (having recently moved to a new area).... then once bubs had arrived the thought of visitors COMPLETELY overwhelmed me and reduced me to tears on so many occassions, but i didn't have the confidence to tell people not to come.

oh but next time i will be so strict!! visitors on the first day only, then not until im at home and feeling well!
