Postpartum visiting rules

Looking for insight, with my first pregnancy we had a bit of a revolving door. Mainly my husband’s family. This time around I will not be doing that. My first baby’s adjustment will be taking all priority also. We will be letting everyone know baby has arrived when we are home and settled. Also suggesting a day for a visit, NOW, I’m hoping husband can word it so all of his family can come at once to stop the revolving door. His parents and grandparents are all super super over bearing and demanding. On our drive home with our first baby his grandparents kept blowing up my phone (calling, texts, then when I wouldn’t answer they were calling husband, he also didn’t answer but they kept leaving voicemails asking when they can come over?) it was ridiculous. So I’m hoping he can send a message saying - everyone can come at this time for a short visit and we can be done with that. Any thoughts?

Odds of being induced twice?! [bc]

Really in disbelief… first pregnancy induced at 41 weeks due to 41 and done policy with the clinic. Had 3 sweeps with my first and didn’t work. Now here I am second pregnancy 39 and 4 days, have had 2 sweeps so far, super aggressive once yesterday and nothing! I’m so in shocked…. Wondering why my body won’t go into labour spontaneously… after my first sweep last week I did the miles circuit, curb walking, took a long walk, everything… I’m coming to terms I only have a week left basically for this to happen. My clinic is doing 2 sweeps a week on me to prevent induction but still… has anyone ever had to be induced for both pregnancies due to going late?!?!?!?

Never shared due date / gave a false date

Just an FYI for anyone doing the same, I gave a date 2,3 weeks off my actual date and texts have already started with his family, “is baby here?” Just an FYI, they are relentless

Birthday parties

Looking for some advice,
My LO 2nd birthday is coming up. I will not be throwing a birthday party. We had one for the 1st it was ok… some tension with the families (mine + husbands). I won’t be having one because I will have just given birth to my 2nd baby, and also not doing birthday parties really until school age. We as a family will be enjoying the day with our kids, going to do something, having cake at home just us. Now, I know husband’s family will want to see LO around the birthday. Is it fine I don’t do anything? I’m not doing a cake / cupcakes, hosting etc.

Why do they invite themselves over? I think it’s really rude. Husband got a text last night, he’s working out of town, screenshot it to me and it’s his mother saying, “we might be coming to your town next weekend, maybe we could drop by and see you” we just seen them at Easter, where I didn’t want to go, but did go cause husband made me. And there was absolutely nothing to say, 0 conversation. I’m due with my second baby in the next few weeks, I’m not doing anymore visiting with these people. Husband’s birthday is also coming up in a few weeks and they will for sure try and plan something then as well. They don’t know the baby’s due date (I lied) and they don’t know that I stopped working months ago.
