[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH had to go home after one night with our second & third (and second & third c-sections) at GW. He was able to come back during the day time, so a bit different, but it was completely manageable. However, if you end up on a magnesium drip, you will not be allowed to have the baby out alone and would have to send it to the nursery overnight or be prepared to ring and shout for nurses overnight, when the staffing is... not great. This is all to say: It will likely be fine, but I would have an emergency backup plan. Probably easier to get a backup plan at the hospital; ask about what happens in this scenario, can you bring someone new in? They might say in case of emergency, they will waive the no-reentering/new support person policy (they won’t let you have two at once, but this is a much less big ask).[/quote]

OP here. Yes last birth DH went home night 2 after a c-section and it ended up being fine b/c nurses just had me beep them when I needed to move the baby. Honestly, it was pleasant to binge watch TV with a pudding cup and a sleeping baby, but of course I can't predict the future. My mother and certain friends could watch the kids if I had an a true emergency, and like you said, the hospital may change its policy in the moment for a true emergency. Luckily this is not a baby friendly hospital...they actually have a legit nursery pre covid and maybe that would return by the time I deliver.[/quote]
