I had Izzy at 935 - by C/S and the IL's and my parents knew right away so as I was being wheeled back from recovery with Izzy they were all there! Far out - I would change that for sure. It would be nice to have 5 mins to get myself sorted and be with my baby after the shock of a c/s and all, but that's life. We didn't have too many visitors the first day even though it was a Saturday - probably because I had a c/s and then on the Sunday I had a full house! I didn't really mind though, I just rested and chatted quietly to them all.

My hospital has very strict visiting hours this time around (different place) and even family won't be able to just waltz in thank goodness, so we can have some time after bubs is born.... My mum and dad will have Izzy though so I would imagine they would come in pretty early with her so we can all say hello to this little man as a family.

It really is up to you and although now you might feel like you would like visitors (or not) you might change your mind. I would recommend that the first few hours at least are yours alone so you can have some lovely snuggles, breastfeed and just stare for a while before everyone wants a cuddle!
