First time mum due in a few weeks and wondering what people did with regards to immediate family (parents, siblings and partners) meeting baby for the first time.
Did you have just parents come to the hospital and then the rest of the family (siblings and partners) over to the house later, if so, when?
did you have all immediate family visit the hospital, or no-one visit the hospital?

I had noone other than myself and my husband at the hospital and I was discharged same day but immediate family (grandparents) met baby over the next couple of days and then after the first week we had friends come to meet him

I don't see the point in visitors coming to hospital. You're usually not there long enough to be worth it. And if you are in longer than 1/2 days then it's for a reason like infection, medication, observation and I wouldn't want visitors then anyway!

I've had 3 babies. Nobody's come to the hospital they've waited until we're home and settled
