I wanted a week and in hindsight I still want a week.
I had PiL on day... 2? BiL and SiL on day 3, the day after PiL. Both while I was in hospital so no where near ideal. My mother and sister day 5.
I actually had a friend visit while I was in recovery, but that's cos she's a midwife and was on that shift, she was happy just to peek at DS when I offered and check I was doing OK. A couple of workmates popped up too, but didn't stay more than 2 minutes really. One was the woman who had taken over from me and needed to know info about the job (we had no hand-over)!
I may just not tell people next baby, I'll buy in "congratulations on your new grandchild" cards and post them (postbox is opposite our house) and our parents can find out that way, not text/phone calls. So I'll get time alone with my family!
