[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wow, I'm starting to feel really bad.

My dh went home at night when I had our FIRST dc via c-section. He also slept at home when our second and third babies were born though MIL came to stay. I didn't think it was a bad thing since the hospital futon is horrible for sleeping but it looks like the other dh's handled it.

Your DH was probably better rested. Nothing wrong with making a different choice on this one. Mine went home with #1, too. I had been hospitalized prior to pregnancy, and I remembered noise from the hall, etc., keeping me up. I couldn't see making him miserable, too. He arrived first thing each morning, left later in the evening. We were both happy with the choice. I think whatever you decide, as long as both spouses are in agreement, it's not a big deal.

Mine went home after our first was born - I wasn't moved from L&D until 1 in the morning, plus he is a terrible sleeper anywhere away from home, including nice hotels. Hospital futon was just going to make everyone miserable, and I didn't see the point of neither of us getting any sleep, what with nurses coming in to check blood pressure, etc. all night. Our second was born at midnight, it wasn't hard to make the same call. First child spent the night at my sister's but my husband went home anyway. It doesn't mean he loves me any less or bonded less with our babies.[/quote]
