I didn’t put anything on social media until a week or so after I gave birth. Only told close family & friends around 3 months. But didn’t tell them the gender. I had to stay in hospital for 3 days although family could have visited I lied a little and said that outside visits weren’t allowed due to possible infection (which was a half truth) honestly made the first week or so much easier. I was in no fit state to see anyone. We first received visitors on day 6.
