hey ladies so I want to know who all have experience being the first child to have the first grandbaby!! Me and my husband are both the oldest siblings and are having the first baby in our families!!!!! Everyone is super excited and I'm happy!! But sometimes when I sit back and my mind gets to going I think about how it might be overwhelming for me when baby comes. I think about how it will be at the hospital after birth and especially when I get home with all the visiting!! We are also very private and to ourselves couple so I have a feeling I'm gonna get overwhelmed with all of it but I'm glad I have all the support I just want to make sure everyone kinda knows how to be chill lol!! Any advice on how to navigate overly excited family members lol, I believe it will just be the grandmas the most!!!

We were the first on my side of the family. I made kind of a list for our families of what to follow so you could try that. Since it’s your first maybe don’t even tell people you are in labor or have had the baby until you have a few days to yourselves to get adjusted. You could also let people know to not come over just whenever. Please call or text to see if it’s okay. You want the privacy of being first time parents with also having family come over but you don’t want people over 24/7
