I already have a DS but this (DD) will be my first planned hospital birth. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise me on what happens during and after the birth.
I have group b strep so will have to go to hospital early and have been told they will probably keep me in to monitor baby for at least 12hrs after she's born. I'm just worried they will send me home if I'm not in established labour (I live over an hours drive from hospital).
Also will they send DH home after the baby is born if it is outside of visiting hours?? We are getting a lift to the hospital so he wouldn't be able to just go home straight away, and I'd rather he stayed with me if I'm being kept in, but are they likely to allow this??
