I know what you mean - I was happy to be home but it would have been nice to stay there for just a little longer. I ended up leaving 27 hours after S's birth. I would have left earlier but for the STUPID STUPID paed (sorry, I should probably do a birth debrief on that since I'm still feeling a little anger about it!!).

I had such a great experience there, and it was such a nice environment that it would have been nice to just have a couple of days, maybe 48 or even three days there, just to relax and get used to breastfeeding and everything. I honestly think that the haemorrhage (sp?) I had one week after the birth was related to coming home so early and just not taking it easy enough.

Is there any way you can get some help at all when you first get home? At the birth centre I went to, if you were having pain/feeding issues they would transfer you to the hospital so that they could keep an eye on you... not ideal I know but perhaps it's another option? I hope works out for you . Sending you great birthing vibes!
