The poor GPs - I really don’t understand this preciousness. Thank goodness dd was happy for family to visit within hours of the birth of all 3 - I have pics of me and dh holding them all when only hours old - and pics were posted to far-flung family asap.

I was only too happy for anyone to come and admire my very new babies, too.

When I had my second child, a son, I didn't want to see anyone. We were cocooned in our home and that was how I wanted to play it. We didn't take him out on his own until he was 6 weeks old.

I certainly didn't want my in-laws to come round either.

Looking back my behaviour was decidedly odd but that's just how it went.

I'd just be patient

Good grief talk about taking the the joy out of what should be such a joyous occasion shock.

Maybe, but family shouldn’t be left for days to speculate.
The thoughts are worse sometimes.

Maybe something is amiss and they can’t face anyone yet.

A friend’s GD gave birth 2days ago, first GC for both sets of parents.
A txt was sent which read like the bulletin posted outside Buckingham Palace stating baldly time of birth, gender, weight.
No visitors at all for several days, not even a photograph has been sent or will be.
No one outside family to be told ( obviously that hasn’t happened) or I wouldn’t know!
The GPS are very upset , knowing this does not come from the new mum.
I couldn’t wait to show off my new baby and I think we bonded well enough.
