DH stayed until about 11pm, i was in labour all day and then had a cs at 8pm.
he was exhausted and had to work the next day... he came in only for a hour or 2 each day.

Some men are all over having a baby and others are HEAPS better when the baby is a bit older... DH is the later (he baths MJ most nighst and they play really silly games, he is just better where there is some level of awareness there iykwim). it wasnt that he didnt care, didnt love her or me, its just there were things to do and he copes very poorly in hospital...

He might change his mind once the baby is here... either that or you might just be really glad to have some alone time with your little bundle. it is very overwhelming and i know that once everyone was gone i just loved sitting looking and cuddling my little girl.

i know this probably hasnt helped, but everyone is different and respond differntly to situations...
