Avoiding visitors after birth
Show your support
I told them my vagina hurts and I can't entertain them.
We told people we were doing an 8 week bu ble beside my mom coming to stay and help and my in laws could come a couple times after two weeks. I just didn’t care about peoples opinions as they were not the ones having a baby.
Having visitors so early on was definitely something I regret and what I'd do differently for my second (if we did have one). It would just be a "yeah so I know you did with the first, but we have learned, and grown, and we don't want it". End of story
you just tell them what you said in your last paragraph!
Tbh I'd say exactly what you said above. It's a big transition for your older child and you will all need to settle into a routine where you have time and energy for both babies. I don't have another baby yet but that's exactly what I'd tell people because it's true.
Tell them exactly what you have written here. Send them a message or email if you’re uncomfortable talking to them, just explain your worries, struggles from last time and you have decided as a family, there will be no visitors until you are ready this time. Most people would respect this and anyone who wants to challenge it, I would keep at a distance. Good luck 💕
I just didn’t tell anyone I was home from hospital lol
