jacqui - when my first daughter was born we had lots of visitors. When second daughter arrived there wasn't many - exactly as Kathryn said, the novelty wears off!!!! Lots of friends phoned or sent text messages. I was in hospital for 5 days with DD#2 and my last day I had no visitors - it was lovely. Most days I only had 1 or 2 which wasn't too bad and mostly family. You have every right to want a bit of bonding time with your new baby and DS. Being in hospital is the only time you can have quality one on one time with the new baby - make the most of it.
