Depends.  As the first homebirther most of my community knew, we were 
so bombarded by astonished visitors, and I was so exhausted by a 5hr 
2nd stage that I forgot to feed my baby and wound up admitted with a 
bili of 25.9.  With the second baby, we banned all visitors for a full 
week.

Other moms I know found it much easier to limit visitors, by having the 
husband stand at the door and talk and not let many people get past the 
entryway.
