For myself and hubs, we're probably going to tell friends not to come right away (1-2 hours after delivery) because we kinda want to just relax and share a special moment with our new baby before he meets family/friends. On the other hand, getting that message to MIL is another story....haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-to-visit#post-72844 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:52:44 +0000 chopsuey 72844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had visitors 4 hours after LO was born! And DH's aunt and uncle dropped by the day we got home from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-to-visit#post-72841 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:45:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 72841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, totally depends on what they think. My cousin was thrilled to have visitors because her SO had to work right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-to-visit#post-72826 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:58:26 +0000 tequiero21 72826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think especially since u guys are bffs, it's okay to go right away. i'd ask the dh what he thinks. =) i think the long weekend is a good time to go! but make sure she'll have time for you - may be that they have tons of family around and you won't get to spend much time with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-to-visit#post-72818 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:47:19 +0000 heffalump 72818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just depends on the person so I would just ask. I had a friend who was upset we didn't visit right away, we thought we were giving her time and space. But others don't love having people visit right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-to-visit#post-72816 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:31:24 +0000 prettylizy 72816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFFs DH just texted me and her water broke this morning! So exciting. </p> <p>How soon after having your baby were you ready for visitors? She lives about 4 hours away, so if we go, it'll likely be for more than a 15 minute visit, but we'll definitely stay at a hotel and not insist on being house guests. We have a long weekend next week and it might be the perfect opportunity for us to go up and meet their lo, I just don't want to be a bother. </p>
