So I'm having my first child , I'm driving an hour away when I go into labor . . At first I only wanted my mom & three little sisters , my in laws , & my brother & sister in law to come visit but now I don't even want to tell anyone when I'm headed to the hospital or when I give birth cause I just want it to be me and my fiance in the room for the day or two will be there at the hospital . . And I don't really want anyone to bother me or meet my baby till a day after we get home . . . Is that wrong or do any other mothers feel where I'm coming from? Or did any other mothers do this? I just want to get used to having a baby around with us first before I let people come around and want to hold her and take her from me for a couple mins/hrs .

My husband and I were the only ones in the room but a few days later my mother in law came to visit and the next day my brother and sissypoo (that's what I call my sister in law) came to visit my father didn't meet my son until my son was over a month old most of my family didn't meet him until he was 3 weeks old ... so yes I completely feel ya

All understandable. I only had my husband and mom first day. My dad stayed for maybe 2 hours then left. I didn't have any company until maybe 2 or 3 weeks after having him. People will understand. And if they don't well then tough. It's not their experience.

@mimirocha it'll probably be a little harder to get some rest with my baby cause we now live back with my in laws ... I just hope they don't get mad and stay mad at me cause I want to be alone with my baby for awhile . They're only talking to me and getting along with me cause I'm having their sons baby ...

It was only my husband and I too in the room. The whole ordeal of becoming FT parents is complicated emotionally and physically and I'm glad we gave ourselves sometime to soak it all in alone. I feel having other family members in the room would have just complicated things.
