[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, you'll be fine. There are nurses to take care of you  My husband went home after my second c-section because we have a younger child and no family to help. I was fine. In fact, I slept better after my second c-section without him there than I did after my first.

Let him go home and rest, send the baby to the nursery. Tell the nurse to wake you up when the baby is hungry. If you can't send the baby to the nursery, just make sure you hit the call button as soon as the baby gets fussy so that they can come hand you the baby to nurse. It's not hard.[/quote]

I'd agree with you except OP said there is no newborn nursery at the hospital.

I had 2 c sections and slept SO MUCH BETTER without my loud ass snoring husband on the couch in the room.  But, there was a nursery for the baby, and i didn't even have them bring me the baby overnight, i just slept.  And did skin to skin/ breastfeeding all day long from 8am-10pm.  It was glorious- take percocet, lay in bed watching TV, cuddling my infant with no distractions.

But without a nursery overnight I dunno. [/quote]

You didn't read the second part of my post -- if there's no nursery, then OP can just call the nurse to help her. I delivered at VHC, the nurses were AMAZING and so kind.[/quote]

That's true- but the nurse:patient ratio in mother/baby units is high, and even higher overnight.  So if you and 3 other moms are all trying to breastfeed/ change your babies at the same time at 3am while simultaneously trying to not rip out your c section staples, you're SOL. [/quote]

I gave birth in a FULL L&D unit (like I had to wait half a day for my scheduled C because there wasn't space for me) and didn't have this problem.[/quote]
