How’s everyone feel about having visitors in the hospital after birth?

I know this is more of a personal preference but I wanna know how others feel about the subject…

I would prefer to have no visitors in the hospital after birth and I know it kind of hurt my parents the multiple times I have had to discuss this with them, but I just don’t get the appeal for myself personally…

I think it’s a special time for me and babies father to get to know our baby as we are both first time parents, I will be fresh out of a c section, trying to learn how to breast feed, learning how to take care of my baby and just all the things. And my parents were just both under the assumption that they would be coming to the hospital after baby is born. My partners mother is totally ok with it and will be taking care of our house and animals during our hospital stay and has given us no issues, my partner says it’s whatever I want to make sure I’m comfortable physically & mentally… My parents seemed kind of confused why I don’t want visitors, but I am easily overwhelmed by them as is, and I just don’t feel like hosting in a hospital room and they hate eachother as is… I know they’re just excited for their grandchild but I’m not excited to share and show my baby off immediately.
