My OB and the midwives who work with her suggest that for the first 1.5 hours only DH and I are in the room with the baby and that only I hold the baby (on my chest, to help with breastfeeding and for the baby to adjust/have my scent etc) we have told this to the whole family and they accept it. As we have just moved interstate i dont think we will have too many visitors, and i will def ask them to call DH 1st. I am most worried about MIL and FIL who will come down and expect to spend 24 hrs a day with us, more when we come home than when i am in hosp....
