Baby tomorrow! And everyone is stressing me out...

I'm being induced at 7am tomorrow and all of my friends and family are driving me insane! I know they are all just excited, but I feel overwhelmed by them. They all want to come to the hospital while I'm being induced, even though I've said time and time again that it doesn't mean the baby magically comes out right away. They all want to sit there until she comes out?! I feel like they're all just predators waiting to swoop in and steal my baby away from me right away! I want to rest and bond with her! I don't know how to tell them all to back off and come visit the next day without being rude. Does anyone else have this problem?

I told everyone straight up I wouldn't even let them in my room and the nurses are better than body guards. And with this third baby I made my appt so early no one can come until way later once I can feel my legs again and baby, Daddy and I have bonded. Its not fun having a room full of people right when you get your baby. It happened to me and resulted in nurses kicking everyone out.

You can talk to the hospital staff and normally they have a code word that you can give the nurses to get people out or you can tell them its ok when to let people come to visit you

Wish my family was over bearing like that. They care but they probably wont even come visit me in the hospital to see the baby. We all got our lives.. Everyones living their lives and we all manage to meet up and say wassup to each other but thats it i dont get half as much that support so just be happy they care hun ! I must say i am very happy that my man will definately be there for me and as for my mother which i would love for her to be in the room too is most likely going to be a work she works full time i would love to have the luxury of her being there ;(

I am being induced at 7:30 tomorrow.   No one but hubby in the room.  Relatives and friends the day after baby is born whenever that is.  Be thankful that they love you but have the nursing staff keep them in the waiting room.  Good luck! a safe and speedy delivery for us all!  ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡
