Family visits to the maternity ward

Do family and visits always go well together after giving birth? A few simple rules are sometimes enough to avoid being overwhelmed!

  • While you'll probably enjoy introducing your baby to your family, there's no need to overexert yourself with visits.
  • After the birth, you will probably feel tired and need to rest, and most of your energy will be devoted to caring for your baby.
  • If you are not feeling well, you can allow only a small circle of people to visit you in the maternity ward and ask your partner to manage the schedule.

Hey mommas, having a lot of family want to visit the baby she’s a week old 🥹 do you tell your family to get any vaccines before visiting? We live out of state so they’re staying with us. #newborns #healthybaby

How long did you wait to let extender family and friends visit your baby? I feel like outside of immediate family (moms, grandparents, siblings, best friend), people should wait until 3 months to visit in person. My partner is making me feel like she's going to want the world to visit. I am stressed out thinking about it. We don't have long to go.

For me, with being due around Christmas, I'll probably wait for friends/etc. to visit until a few weeks after festivities are over where everyone is around a lot of people. Maybe February ish (due Dec 26)

I am doing family photo pregnancy announcement for my family...4/1. This is my third. We have 1st ultrasound and visit w/Dr on 3/31 to get due date and see if multiples or single. How should I gift the picture? Fun ideas. We are doing an Easter theme, my 2 boys hunt eggs and the eggs give the "secret" or announcement.
