I gave birth at 6:50am and left by 12pm. I was allowed to leave after 11am but friends came down to visit (she was in post natal ward still)

I had visits for the first 6 weeks.. I didn't get much rest at home but that's cause my grandad had died 2 days before I gave birth so when DD was 2 days old we drove down to Coffs Harbour (took us 8hrs!)... but if that Hadn't happened then I would have had a lovely restful time.

I LOVED coming home straight away because then me, DH and DD had a nap together and we were in our house, our bed, our stuff etc...
