My thoughts
My advice is to have a heart to heart talk with your sister. When my kids were born, I would have felt selfish to deny any of our family a chance to see their new grandchild/niece/nephew. That said, once I had a chance to show the babies off, I really wanted an opportunity for my husband, the baby and me to work on getting to know our new little family. The first few days after the births, I was really tired and only wanted to sleep and cuddle the baby. Having a lot of family around was actually overwhelming to me, as much as I love my family.
In most instances you wouldn't even know if there was going to be a conflict--it's just the fact that your sister is having a scheduled c-section that puts you in this dilemma. Would your sister expect you to drop everything if you were in the middle of rush or classes?
There will be plenty of opportunities to spoil your new little niece or nephew. The baby won't know the difference, and your sister might actually prefer company in a week or two.
Good luck with whatever happens.
