Katie Bowman asks people to respect the wishes of new mom if she wants a few days to herself.


If a friend or family member comes fromhas given birth, rushing to the hospital with balloons and flowers may seem like the right thing to do. But a viral position ofKatie Bowman, who runs the blogLive my family life, reveals how crushing it can be and explains why you should wait before visiting a new mother at the hospital.

On December 3, Bowman, a three-year-old mother, shared a picture of itself about 24 hours after giving birth to her eldest child. "One or two days. Is it too much to ask?" she wrote. Just one or two days for a new mother "to come with the fact that she had a little human emerge from her body", "to" finally take a shower and wash sweat and blood from his body, "push through the pain of his painful nipples as she learns to breastfeed, "and" try to havea little sleep Because it is absolutely exhausted. "

Bowman then wrote that the work crossing the work is "one of the most painful, exhausting and exhausting experiences in your life", which can take a real physical and emotional toll.Learn to breastfeed Can be stressful and you no longer need more people when you try to bring your baby to lock. So it's logical that the last thing you want "either for everyone to bare from your room to play the package before having even had the chance to recover."

According to Bowman, you visit a new mother at the hospital is right now, because "Everyone wants the rights that boasts have seen the new baby within 24 hours" and if theexhausted a new mom Said no, she is "a selfish and delicate dramatic queen".

While Bowman concedes that "some people can not wait to have visitors", and that having so many people want to come to the hospital made him feel very loved, she did not realize how difficult it would be to ask people wait a day or two. "You're too tired to chat, so you're sitting and waiting for them to get their corrected baby," she wrote.

She finished the position by asking people to respect the wishes of the mother's mother and realize that seeing the new baby is a privilege, not a right.

"It makes me cry because it's so true," wrote another Facebook user. "I asked everyone not to come to the hospital. Not a single person listened. All I wanted was to sleep and cuddle with my new baby. When I finally expressed how point J 'was stressed, I was by all and everyone, I was told how everyone, I have been told how everyone, I said how everyone, J 'have been informed to be. I'm just really grateful for what I'm not the only one to feel that way. "
