[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, you'll be fine. [b]There are nurses to take care of you  [/b]My husband went home after my second c-section because we have a younger child and no family to help. I was fine. In fact, I slept better after my second c-section without him there than I did after my first.

Let him go home and rest, send the baby to the nursery. Tell the nurse to wake you up when the baby is hungry. If you can't send the baby to the nursery, just make sure you hit the call button as soon as the baby gets fussy so that they can come hand you the baby to nurse. It's not hard.[/quote]

Depends on where you deliver.  No one helped me at GW besides to give me meds (often late).  Really no one did anything for me.  I was in a room by myself with the baby.  I asked for help and was treated like I asked for a full body massage. [/quote]

Agree. I had a normal vaginal birth, my husband went home to be with our older child, and it was awful, awful, awful. My baby was a hungry screamer, I was completely incontinent and emptied my bladder the second I stood up to get the baby, and the nurses were unresponsive.

My strongest memory of her birth is holding my screaming baby while grabbing paper towels from the dispenser and using my feet to move them around the floor and sop up my urine. Oh, and then when I put the baby back in the bassinet to change out of my wet things, I emerged from the bathroom to find the nurse had finally come and she dressed me down for "leaving my baby to cry" while I was in there. (Baby had quieted when I put her down but as I cleaned myself up, I could hear her start to cry, louder and louder, and was frantically trying to finish and get back to her.)[/quote]
