DD1 DH stayed the whole time in a beautiful big room and queen sized bed ...heaven!
DD2 DH was at home with DD1 14 months old ... I missed him so much after the fairy tale we had the first time ...oh and both cs,

DD1, DH stayed the first four nights but went home for the last night. It was lovely having him there, but I was pretty excited to have her 'all to myself' for that one night!

DS and DD2, he stayed the first night but was then home with the kids the other nights. This last time, he took the big kids to school then came and spent the day with me. Then he would go and pick up the kids from school, bring them to visit me and take them home at about 6.30pm.

I had vaginal deliveries so moving about and picking up my bubs' unassisted was not a problem.

Both times dp stayed with me ( both were c/s). Dd1 stayed at home with my mum and mil but came in every day for most of the day. Dp went home after breakfast and brought her in, but we only live 10min from the hospital so it was easy to do that.

Two CS here.

Ds1 dh stayed 3 out of 5 nights.

Ds2 my parents were here so they had ds1 most of the time. dh stayed first night then worked night shift for 3 nights. He then stayed at home last night I was in hospital.

Both times I would have really struggled without him on that first night. He would get up and bring bubs to me, change nappies, put him back to be and just generally supported me. Was fantastic
