Looking after baby straight after c/s?

[reneenay]

Hi MD! After my emergency c/s with my first DH was asked to leave about an hour after we got back to our room (ds was in the nursery after he left due to some minor problems) which was just after midnight. At that stage I was in a double room yet no one was occupying the 2nd bed. Mind you, it was to be expected seeing as they kicked DH out the night earlier once visiting hours had finished...l had been induced earlier that morning and started having regular intense contractions about an hour or two after he left. I spent the entire night n labour by myself in the maternity ward, crying and vomiting with only a few check ins from the nurse. When I told one of the midwives that the pain was too much I was given two panadole :-)

Oops....I had better not start ranting and raving again hehe....

My hospital has a strict no co sleeping policy but if I find that the easiest method during that first night thats exactly what I will be doing. I'd like to think ive grown a pair since my last experience at this hospital haha ;-)

After my last c/s I was up and about less than 7 hours after with very minimal pain. I'm sure ill have a quick recovery this time too.
