[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the people who are telling me to let him go home had c-sections and sent their DHs home?  I always heard that if you have a c-section, you can't pick up the baby for a few days.  So what did you do overnight if your DH went home?[/quote]

Have you never been in a hospital before?  I'm sure that the night nurses in a maternity ward know how to pick up an infant, change her and deliver her to her mother for nursing.  There is this device on your bed called a "call button".  If your child wakes and the nurse does not hear it and come in, you can press the call button and the nurse at the station will come in to assist.

You should not bring an air mattress to a hospital and have someone sleeping on the floor where they can interfere with hospital staff coming in and tending to the patient (i.e. YOU).  Your husband should go home, sleep there and get the house ready for both you and your child to return home.  Believe me, there are plenty of sleepless nights in front of you.  You husband should be getting as well rested as he can.[/quote]

Yup - I had a kid at Sibley before.  Which is why I know the nurses are not going to come running to help me with the baby when I push the call button at night!  [/quote]
