DS - I stayed fo 5 days after he was born as I had a c-sec, I was in a room on my own after he was born. I got lots of rest, as the midwives offered to take him into the nursery overnight for quite a bit, but by day 4 I was itching to get out of there as I'd been in there since 2 days before he was born.
DD - The next day, I would have left sooner as I felt good enough to go home within 3 hours of her being born but as I had GD while pregnant they had to do 24hours of monitoring her blood glucose levels to make sure she was ok. I was in a room on my own after having her as well - with a double bed lol. I got a bit of rest, but DD wouldn't sleep in the crib in there, she would only sleep on me or in the bed with me.
When we got home she would wake every 4 hours and mostly only slept with one of us in the recliner.
