[quote=Anonymous]I am giving birth to my fourth child this spring and am planning a c-section. My husband is of course coming for the birth, but the hospital policy is that your one visitor can't leave and come back. We have no local family and with three small children no family friend I could ask to take all the kids for multiple nights. My mother can drive in and is able to watch the kids for one night but that is her max (for sake of the question just take this as a given...she is older with health issues and can't do more). I have lots of friends who could watch various groups of kids but its a lot of logistics with driving and, again, my mom can't manage this.

Is it crazy to think a good plan would be to have my husband come for the c-section and stay the first night...and then go home? He could then come pick me up when we are discharged. Sure, its not ideal but I'd be OK. I've had babies before so this is not new, but my major concern would be if I had a small complication after he left...assuming for a large complication they might let him back in but who knows??[/quote]
