[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a guy who has now spent the night in the hospital with four different kids (two wives), it never even occurred to me or my wife that a baby would be taken out of the room? wtf? I guess it goes along with how everyone farms out the raising of their children to daycares and nannies and after school programs - might as well get started right away!

But, I do agree, the vital checking makes it a nightmare. What you would like to do is have nurses on standby and then you could call them in to do vitals when the baby is feeding and wake up every 2 hours instead of every 45 minutes.[/quote]

Thanks for the mansplaining.   A c-section is major surgery.  Some women labor for over 24 hours.   Not everyone has a support person in the hospital overnight.  Women who’ve just given birth need to recover.  They can’t do that if they are the only caregiver for a newborn baby.  [/quote]

Here's some more mansplaining. If you can't have a support person then you probably shouldn't be having a baby[/quote]

Wow.  I’ll tell that to my husband who was home with our toddler.   I’d mention it to my parents but they’re dead.  And those military moms with deployed spouses?  I’ll be sure to let them know your thoughts too.   Lemme guess, you work as a hospital administrator?[/quote]
