 first week after labor 
Who stood with you the first week right after giving birth? Did you have vistors? Have family stay over? I am tossed about who should be with me besides my dh.  My DH wants his mom to stay because she is coming from ecuador and won't be staying to long in the states and knows she will want to spend as much time with the baby as possilbe.

 Re: first week after labor 
no where near that point yet, but we won't have anyone staying with us.  All our family lives on the island so i'm sure they'll be stopping by constantly, but no one will be sleeping over, just me and DH and our little bundle.

 Re: first week after labor 
We're fortunate that our family is all close by, so noone will be staying at our house- but I know my front door will turn into a revolving door for a while.

 Re: first week after labor 
We had no one stay with us and it worked out beautifully. We felt that we needed to get into our own routine and didn't want anyone's opinions or whatever. Without a doubt, both us were sure we could handle all the changes and felt that this would work best for us. And it did! However, the day we got home my family ..dad,stepmom, 3 sisters did come over, cooked dinner and stayed for just a few hours. The next few weeks weren't bad with visitors. We had a ton of people at the hospital so not too many of them came to the house.

 Re: first week after labor 
No one lives near us, so we are staying at my Mom's for the first week. We have a one bedroom apartment and no where for anyone to sleep. It will be easier for family to come see us, and she lives closer to the hospital.

 Re: first week after labor 
Honestly if there is anyway to have his Mom come the following week it will be much better for you.

 Re: first week after labor 
We are going to give it a couple days before anyone comes to see us.  Our families live out of state and once they know the baby's born, they can book their tickets out.

 Re: first week after labor 
My mom is staying with us the first week or two.  We live in Westchester and my parents live on the island so it will be hard for her to come back and forth everyday.
