Here is an article to share with friends and family with advice for how the can best help and avoid burdening the new mom and dad in first few weeks of baby's life.    This should also give you a good idea of what you can expect or hope for from others.  If making plans and having visitors  is too stressful or exhausting at this stage, politely explain and see if you can find the best way to fulfill their desire to help you and your need for help of any kind.  While they might want to spend time with parents and baby together, maybe a friend coming over and watching baby while you take a shower or bringing dinner for you to eat alone or with the preparer could be the most comfortable and the best use of time and energy  during those early weeks.  Don't be afraid to ask for help and tell people how they can be most helpful.
