In laws - Not allowing to visit baby immediately once born

I will be giving birth this month (July 2022) and im gg to be a FTM. I am an introvert and im not very good at adapting to change and esp becoming a new mom so i think i will need time to adjust and just find myself, collect my emotions & thoughts etc. What do you guys think about me not allowing MIL to immediately come and visit me & baby? Is it wrong? I have an ok-ok rs with her. (she has only been nicer to me bcs im pregnant, we didnt rlly have a good past). Am i being selfish or evil? This will be her first grandchild btw. My parents think that its not right. #firstbaby #pleasehelp

ur mental health is very important especially after ur delivery. I had the same problem after I gave birth with my MIL. MONSTER IN LAW. She came visit me and baby on the day I got discharged and came home from hospital. I was totally shagged, not enough sleep and all I wanted was a good food and good sleep in my comfy bed. but I could not sleep as my mil was there with my 2 other in laws. they stayed here till about 12am. and I was controlling my anger and mood swings and every kinda emotions that kicked in. I voiced out to my husband and it became a big fight. Hais . I think u should really tell ur husband to talk to ur mil or explain by saying , u need alot of time for urself once baby is here. Don't come visit too long. u also need to rest and adapt urself as a new mom.
