Visitors after delivery...

[SuperMommaof2]

When my husband and I had our son 2.5 years ago we liked that we had no visitors after we had him. We were stationed away from family and they all came to visit after baby was born and we were settled into parenthood. Now my husnand is out of the army, and we live near family and we like the idea of no visitors besides our son... My family won't listen to me if I was to just say no visitors and show up anyways. Is there a way to restrict them from coming?

Thanks. I think the best thing for us is to not tell anyone besides my mother in law who will have our son for a few days. I also worry because I'm due in December, and don't want a ton of people around with the flu and other viruses that go around.

Wow! Wish i would have seen this before i posted mine thats similar! Could keep going into labor a secret until you're ready for people or just let the hospital know you dont want anyone there and tell your family the same, and that its a waste of their time becaise the hospital isnt letting them in.

If you tell the nurses you don't want any visitors they will send people away. Be very specific to who you want and don't want.

Don't tell anyone you are in labor. Just go to the hospital, have baby and don't tell anyone til yoy are back home.

You can make a list of names of people that you want to allow in, and that you don't. You can always tell your family the baby came close to the end of visiting hours. That way you have time with the baby and your husband first, then about an hour with everyone

Normally u can sign a paper where the hospital can tell people that your not in the hospital at all..but that goes for your husband too if you lose contact n he asked where your located they can't tell him where you are or that ur even in the hospital at all but if he has a cell or something u can call n tell him where your at thw hospital just won't tell him.
