With ds i stayed 4 nights - private hospital and private room with husband sleeping in with me - with no follow up mw visits
With DD i stayed in one night (public hospital with shared 4 to a room) thinking i would get more rest there than if i went home and had ds all over me but i wish i had gone home that same day. I could have gone 4 hours post birth if wanted and i would have felt absolutely fine with that (2nd birth). I didnt get much rest in the shared public hossy room. I had 4 days of midwife home visits.

I would have done exactly the same again (except the o/nite stay in the public hossy lol) if i had the choice to re-do as i felt with my first born i was very comfy in the hossy with my husband staying and the midwives right there to help with any questions. 2nd time around i felt so much more at ease and relaxed about caring for a newborn i just wanted to get home to my own bed and surroundings
