I'm 39 weeks pregnant with second pregnancy. My first birth was awful, this time I may have an elective c section but I'm also keeping an open mind for if I go into labour before then.
At my midwife & consultant appointments they seem to try to reassure me by telling me I won't have a long stay in hospital. I know due to corona they don't want people staying unesseraily. Also on threads here and people I have spoke to have made a point of saying that they were in and out quick and that was good.
Having a short stay at hospital doesn't reassure me. I don't want to be rushed out. I want to feel like I am ready. Especially since I didn't get to breast feed first time round so I would like the extra support with that this time. Also since it seems like health visitor appointments will be reduced following the birth I want to get as much support as possible at the hospital. I don't really understand where the assumption that I would like to leave quickly is coming from.
So I am just wondering what are peoples reasons for wanting to get out of hospital quickly? I feel like I am missing something.
Thank you
