[quote=Anonymous]I had a c-section at Sibley two years ago and was there for three nights.  My husband stayed two of the nights and my mom stayed one of them so my husband could go home and get some sleep.  While I don't think it was absolutely necessary for anyone to stay at night (they offered and wanted to), it was nice having someone else there especially the first night.  For the first 24 hours post c-section, you have an epidural so you obviously can't get out of bed.  It was nice having someone there to help me put the baby back in the bassinet; change the baby's diaper; bring me a book, a drink, my computer, etc.  Yes, a nurse could have done those things, but they seemed very busy and I honestly would have felt bad calling them everytime I needed anything.  After 24 hours I was up and around and able to lift the baby, so it was less necessary to have someone there.

The private rooms are very small and I don't think there is enough room for an air mattress.  Maybe just have your husband stay the first night and, if you want someone after that, maybe have a friend or family member spend the night so he can get some sleep.  [/quote]
