I feel guilty because I really don't want anyone to come to the hospital when I go into labor. Only my husband and my mom will be aloud in the room. I don't want a bunch a people in the room while nurses and Drs are all in my business and while I'm going to half naked trying to establish breast feeding. My mother in law is adamant that she will stay in the waiting room and won't come in till I'm ready but I don't want the added stress of knowing she's sitting out there and waiting and won't even be able to see the baby because he won't be in the nursery. I wish everyone would just do what I ask and not question it. I'm bipolar and deal with anxiety and I'm just trying to keep myself from having any sort of panic attack or mood swing during this highly stressful time.

Don't worry about anyone except your self and baby.. It's all about you while you're in labor, then when the baby is out it's about what you want for that baby. If someone questions your decisions, punch them in the face and get some ice cream😂. But for real, if they have a problem then they can leave.

Thanks @mommyofkaiden That's what I told my husband! He's on my side but he doesn't really get it. I just don't want her sitting out there for hours texting and asking when she can come in Id rather just wait till I'm ready for visitors to tell everyone.

You can do that. Tell your husband and mom not to tell anyone the baby is here until you're ready for people to see baby. @queenmother. My husband opened the door right after the baby was put on my chest and everyone tried to rush in, my legs were wide open and I was being stitched up, I was too tired to say anything but the doctor did it for me😂

@queenmother, if you dont want visitors make sure you stress it. I didn't want any visitors coming to the hospital besides my mom and siblings and people showed up anyway and I was overwhelmed. I feel like I could bond with my baby as much as I wanted. so make sure its clear just a heads up

Omg @mommyofkaiden ! See I might lose it if that happen to me, but I might be too tired to care also. My anxiety caused me to over think sometimes but I rather not have the distraction. Trying to stay cool calm and collected for my baby!

Thanks for the heads up @suresti I've definitely made it know to my family but if all else fails the nurses will not them in the room and make the stay in the waiting room if they decide they can't follow my wishes. I hope it doesn't come to that.

yeah make sure you tell the nurses. my boyfriends family just kept passing the visitors sticker around and it was quite annoying I never knew when someone would pop up usually when I was trying to breastfeed lol @queenmother

@suresti, I'm super afraid of becoming overwhelmed because that's when my bipolar and anxiety are at its worst and it takes a lot to bring me back to a good head space. That's why I need my mom there she knows how to help me through it more than anyone. My husband is still learning lol

@suresti, yea I don't think I could handle that! Honestly it may not be that bad but I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best!
