    That sounds like a load of rubbish. If you had a vb at say, 8pm and visiting hours finished at 9pm they wouldn't turf your hubby out straight away, would they? So why would DH have to go home so soon after a CS? FWIW I had a CS in a pub hospital and specifically requested DH to stay, and he stayed with me (ie slept and everything) for the entire time I was there. They even organised for me to be in a single room. Mind you, they knew I'd had PTSD from my earlier birth, and it was pretty clear it was exacerbated by the help I didn't get in the first few days after birth, so I think that put me in a vulnerable category that potentially needed extra help.

    Didn't you have an emergency CS or some other surgery last time? What happened then?
