How long should I wait for visits from overseas family?
I'm pregnant and have plans for my parents to come visit after my baby is born in February. I was initially thinking of them flying over pretty soon after my due date to meet our newly born baby.
However, I started to consider that they are flying from the US to France and it's so easy to pick up a sickness on a flight, especially in winter. Personally, I probably get sick 50% of the time after flying, most of the time a cold.
How long would you wait to have visitors from overseas if you were having a newborn in February?
I'm curious both from a health perspective and also when it's easier to have visitors for the baby.
I'm not worried about entertaining, my parents are very helpful and will help us out during this time. They are quite aware that I'll be postpartum and are easy going and judgement free (in this regard at least). But I've never had a baby before, so I don't know what I don't know.
Note: None of the flairs fit, so I just picked one that at least was somewhat related.
