[quote=Anonymous]How much help did you get from the nurses for things like:
 diaper changes - I think the doula or midwife showed DH but then, they (or the nurses, I dunno who) left a stack of newborn diapers in the room and we changed them. Mostly DH.
swaddling - the pediatrician showed us how
getting baby properly latched on for breastfeeding - midwife helped, and then nurses checked in
 did you have a vaginal birth or C-section?  vaginal
Did you have good stretches of uninterrupted time with your baby and partner, or were there always people in and out of your room?  yes, to a couple hours in a row of uninterrupted time, but between hospital staff and relatives/friends visiting, we had a bunch of people around
Did you feel well enough to be up and walking around, or did you mostly feel like resting in bed?  well, there's the bleeding.  So that's there. Other than that, I would get bursts of energy, and then be exhausted, then another burst of energy, then exhausted. But I didn't really leave my hospital room until it was time to leave the hospital the next day.[/quote]
