I had Oscar at 5pm on a Friday night. We had our parents waiting to come into our room before I was even in it!! As I was brought up from recovery I thought DH's Mum was about to jump on the bed to see our new bubba. Once I got settled and all my stuff was in my room I allowed my Mum to come in while they dressed Oscar and fixed me up a bit. However, DH's family who we don't get along with all the well really ruined our first night by trying to take Oscar off whoever had him.

Sorry for the ramble BUT it really is up to you hun. Make it very clear that you will let people know when YOU are ready for visitors, not when they are ready. Those first few hours are so important and special hun. There will be plenty of time for people to visit you and bubs. If you tell people that you don't want visitors until you are ready they should respect your decision and at least the ball will be in your court hun. You might decided you both want to share your bubba straight away but it's best to leave your options open iykwim?!

Once again, sorry for the ramble!
