Hi girls,
I hope this is in the right area (mods, please feel free to move if i am out of place)!

Just wondering, after you have your 1st baby in a public hospital, how long do the midwives and docs keep you in hospital for? Is it 2-3 days on average? That's if there are no complications with mum or bub. With your first, do they keep you in there a bit longer than your 2nd, 3rd etc as you are a "new" mum and need to learn breastfeeding etc? Do they take more time in helping you when it's your 1st born?? ie lactation consultants etc etc I would hope so! I would probably feel i would need the support etc in there for the first 3 days.... is that something that you would mention to the doc/midwife after you give birth?

My sister gave birth on 09 Jun to a healthy baby girl and mum is fine too... they are still in hospital (public).. any reason why??? she thinks she can go this afternoon.
