overwhelming family!
Show your support
That sounds so stressful for you! ☹️ could you not just message and say you really appreciate them wanting to come and see you and the baby but you’re not feeling so good at the moment and you could let them know when you’re ready! Sometimes we have to be a bit selfish if it’s in our best interests! Hopefully they understand x
My family were the same! We spent a week in hospital and when I was discharged everyone decided they wanted to visit the day after. I kept telling them no but they didn’t listen. The only person I said yes to was my mum and that’s only because I felt like I needed her after a long week in hospital. In the end I just ignored their texts and they soon got the message 😂
Absolutely don’t feel bad for saying no, you have to look after yourself first. Then once you’ve said no clearly just don’t open the door to them, can always ask them to just drop off food supplies outside the door to help instead!! X
I say be firm, say no and stick to your guns until you feel up to it and even then if they visit, they need to be helpful for you (bring food, clean etc) not just cuddle baby! I had an emergency section with my first and we only had our mums over after 3 days and everyone else had to wait 2 weeks.
Just set a boundary. Say you’re really not up for visitors yet but you’ll let them know as soon as you are.
Gosh, so sorry babes. This sounds like they would not be of help at all? Just coming to add more stress.
