[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one sleeps in the hospital. Everyone gets checks. Use the bassinet. [b]Have someone stay with you[/b]. [/quote]
No. The baby is a patient and should be cared for by hospital staff. Not by another patient that just had an intensive medical procedure.[/quote]

This is such a strange perspective to me.  I had two c-sections, and my husband spent the night in the room with me and lifted our baby, changed her diaper, brought her to me. The nurses did bring her to the nursery for a little while, but I much preferred my baby with me. As for sleep, ha, I had insomnia most of my pregnancy and I was used to go without. I slept when she slept and it all worked out![/quote]

It’s strange to you that not everyone had your experience? Do you realize that not everyone has a partner who can/does stay with them to help w the baby? Or you think everyone who gives birth has your same situation? With our first my husband was there to help. W our second, my husband had to be home w our first kid and there was no one else w me so I was totally on my own. Nurses didn’t help me w baby at all.[/quote]
