[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the woman who posted about baby friendly hospitals.  I had a very similar experience.  My husband wasn't selfish, we just have an older kid who he had to stay with.  My 2 nights at a baby friendly hospital were the worst.  The nurses do absolutely nothing to help.  Trying to breastfeed and care for a bewborn, after a c section, while drugged up on pain medications is the absolute worst.  These baby friendly hospitals have no nursery.  If we didn't have a kid at home I wpukdmhave c called my husband selfish too [/quote]

Ugh my experience too.  I’ll never forget getting out of bed post c-section and feeling like my stomach had been hit by a car.  I’m trying to breastfeed and all I could think was this is so awful!![/quote]

I don't agree with baby friendly hospitals for various reasons, but... I do want to point out that (usually) they are not helping for a reason. While a c-section is definitely a major surgery, and a vaginal delivery is also physically demanding with it's own aftermath, the point the nurses are trying to make is that even though you are exhausted and it might be painful, there is no medical reason that you cannot get out of bed (when they tell you to, not immediately after a c-section of course) and care for your child. Do you want to? No. But physically, can you? Yes. *cue story from someone who had a rare complication after birth and almost died, or a nurse who hated them and ignored their requests, etc, etc.*

I remember the first surgery I ever had (not a c-section), and them telling me to get out of bed and try to walk, I looked at them like they had six heads. It hurt and it sucked and I was in major pain, but they made me do it anyway.
