Just looking for some experienced people to answer me a question. Had our pre planned section meeting with midwife today. All great and straightforward, but when I asked about help to pick baby up after the op, her response was that my dh should stay with me overnight as they have 4 nurses between 48 beds. We hadn't planned for this and it's a bit tricky as we have a 5 year old and a dog at home. We could possibly ask my sister to stay with them, but it's not ideal as ds is a bit unsettled and we'd rather dh was with him. Also not keen for dh to sleep in a chair as we'd like one of us to be on good form and not knackered when we bring the baby home. Last time though i struggled overnight in hospital and could have done with more help. Anyone have any stories, tips, advice?
