" Everyone is different and probably felt differently after each baby was born anyway. I was quite happy to be " invaded " the day after the birth of DD2 (which conveniently was a Bank Holiday) but I did have an easy pregnancy and an amazingly easy and short birth (apart from a bit of heavy bleeding). I was in hospital but escaped when DD2 was 13 hours old. After DD1 I had a PPH and so was kept in hospital for four days but again was quite happy to be " invaded " after I got home but then again I am used to hordes of people traipsing through my house all hours of the day. If someone is bit more private than me or had a difficult labour or has a grouchy baby or not much support, I can see that it would be quite difficult to be expected to make cups of tea and entertain. Fortunately most of my visitors know me well (ie, that I am a lazy tart!!) and made their own cups of tea etc and let me just doss around with baby attached to my boob!!
