The first 24 hours I was still hooked up to drips and the spinal block and all that jazz....we just allowed my Mum, and DH's Mum to come in for a quick visit.

Thankfully we didn't have a lot of visitors as we really restricted it - I'm glad that we did that though because I did have quite a bit of pain and wasn't coping too well post-birth (emotionally). I would allow yourself at least a couple of days - until you know you are a bit more mobile IYKWIM?
