Nic - you so aren't sounding like a bully - more like a MOTHER who knows what she needs for her baby....
I would ask if your partner could stay also, I had DH stay with me the entire 5 nights in hospital (but yes, Selangor is a great hospital that way!!).
But if they don't let you, start ringin that buzzer at every opportunity honey cos thats what the midwives are there for... to HELP YOU.....

Oh and thanks for the luck vibes - i think i'll need them.. this one is a big bub already... arggh!!!
