[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has only delivered at home and in free-standing birth centers, I have to say these stories sound like a nightmare. I'm so glad I avoided birthing in a hospital! [/quote]

As the first GWU PP, I should note that my experience involved a 3 day labor ending in an emergency C-section [i]and[/i] post-partum preeclampsia.  So while I got no sleep and had to stop my husband from almost throttling a nurse for coming in and flipping the light on 90 seconds after we finally got DD to sleep after trying to settle her for over an hour on night two, I'm still very glad I gave birth at a hospital.

Exactly. If you have serious complications being at a hospital can be exhausting and stressful but it is so worth getting the care you need at the time. [b]If you don’t have complications, standard care after birth is generally not invasive and allows for plenty of time to rest and relax.[/b] [/quote]

I'm going to vote no. Sorry I had two uncomplicated births (but long without sleep for several nights). People were in and out every hour at least. And at night, maybe every 2 hours. NO time to rest. [/quote]
