How do you tell your mom and mother in law, we will not see visitors for 24 hours after labor, maybe longer?
We are very private people and understand its exciting to see a new baby but we need us time to bond as a family too. Wish it was more common so I dont feel like such a jerk.

It was difficult and my aunt's and uncles didn't understand and thought the bonding was stupid, but it was important to me to get a hold on things. Especially, I wanted no one in the room besides my boyfriend. I felt that it's personal, especially being vulnerable like that, my boyfriend understand what I needed and respected my choices. I bled a lot too and I wasn't feeling good, I just was tired and weak. I liked not having to worry about who was coming and the uncomfortable part of recovering in my huge pad and mesh underwear. Hahaha
@sierravictorias I put on my hospital thing that no one could visit unless we granted permission. I talked to my family about no one coming to see her till we brought her home.
No one came to the hospital to see our daughter and we were there from Friday morning until Monday night. Only person that came was my daughter's at home nurse to check on me and see if she was ok. Other than that we got text messages and phone calls and that was all.
We did it too. I was just completely honest and they were ok with it. They knew to respect my wishes.
Its pretty common I did it with all mine

Thank you for such positive words and support! I feel much better knowing its more common than i thought. My husbands mom is convinced she will be there for the birth, i was planning on inviting everyone to a BBQ a few weeks after. I dont want anyone to see me at my weakest except my husband and doula. Thanks guys!!
