When I had my daughter I moved in with my grandma, grandpa and aunt, my daughter had acid reflux which kept her up all night screaming, we all took turns it was the only way I could get any rest. She seems to be growing out of it now at 2 and a half thank goodness. When my son was born my mother in law came to stay with us because the doctor told me that I couldn't lift anything heavy my daughter was only one and was rather heavy so my mother in law came to help me lift her and help me around the house she stayed about 4 days.

Well my hubby took time off while we were in the hospital. When we came home my mom stayed with us for a few days and he went to work those days. Then my hubby took a week off and my mom went home. My hubbys family did come and stay a while too to help out....So I had help for a few weeks then I was on my own during the day

My fiancee took off for 2 weeks. He was there during the day of my induction and the whole 6 days in the hospital. (I had to have and emergency c-section) and then when we went home he was there for the remaning week. After that, I had tons of support from family and friends.

My husband took 2 weeks off with both girls but my mom also helped when she could. With our first we lived close to her with our second one we were 250miles away so she came up when my husband went back to work
