how do i tell people this??

So I was talking to my midwife and she suggested that we don't have people at our home for the first month because our baby is measuring small to date and is more prone to diseases rsv whooping cough and the flu. Which I'm completely fine with but I know alot of people are looking forward to meeting our baby and especially my husbands side and my husband doesn't understand either. I want what's best for my child. My hubby is really making me mad on this subject and I can't help but get angry and want to cry when I talk to him about.this because I know alot of people will be mad at me. How do I make everyone understand without getting upset and crying?

Ohh I definitely will it just ***** because his sister called me yesterday to see how everything was going and to tell me to make sure we call her when I go into labor then tells me she sick! The people who will be visiting live with her and I don't want them around my baby if she's already more likely to get sick.

Tell them that it is doctors orders. Maybe let people visit for ten minutes at a time, if you feel comfortable with it. My daughter was small, and our doctor recommended the same. My in laws weren't happy, but that got over it.

Don't worry about it. You're doing what you believe is best for you child.  If you let some visit just make sure they use hand sanitizer
