What to do if people show up at the hospital unannounced (and uninvited)???


I am almost 29 weeks along, and am beginning to work on my birthing plan. I do not want ANYbody at the hospital during my labor/delivery (except for the father of the baby), and I do not want ANY visitors while I am at the hospital. Since this is our first child, I feel that we need the time to bond with our daughter...and I want some time to rest before going home. We plan to call people as soon as the baby's born, and will accept visitors on our first day HOME (for a couple hours).

I am hoping that family/friends will respect our wishes...but you never know! Has anyone ever made it clear that they didn't want people showing up at te hospital, and they came anyway? If so, how did you handle it?

Let me reiterate: We WILL be aloowing visitors when we get home (which, if the delivery is normal, will be in a couple of days). I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people to wait until we get home to have see our child. It's ok to be excited about the birth, but I'M the patient (while at the hospital), and if I'm not up to visitors, I expect others to respect my wishes. I don't think waiting a couple of days to see the baby is going to kill anymore (grandparents or not!!!) :-)

Make sure that your doctors and nurses are well aware that you wish to have no visitors. Alot of times they will ask you if you want them to let people know what room you are in, and you can also tell them that you don't want people to know.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Grandparents, relatives, and friends will want to see you and the baby because they love and care and are happy. I think it is unreasonable not to have anyone visit in the hospital. If anything, thank them for visiting and keep the visit short.

My sister in law felt this way as well. I understood how she felt (and it was her choice) BUT the entire family had their feelings hurt over this and it was 11 years ago! When a child is born, he/she is not born just to YOU, but to the entire family on both sides. You may becoming a mother, but others are becoming grandmothers, cousins, uncles, etc. To take this joy from them, I think could be disasterous. Keep in mind, people are proud and happy over this joyous occasion and for you to strip them of being a part of it....well, it would seem cruel.

you can tell the hospital that you dont want anybody their and if people call they will say your not even their so the wont get the chance to sneak in
