Hi everyone,

Would love some advice. Going to hospital in a month for surgery - a partial thyroidectomy. Currently am breastfeeding. Am trying to decide if I should have my DS room in with me after the procedure, as I am worried how DS will cope as he seems to suffer from separation anxiety. Bubs will be seven months old. Additionally would be easier to have him there to breastfeed, as it takes 1 hour to get to the hospital. i am also worried how DH will cope, as DS has sleep issues. Apparently, i have heard of husbands also staying in hospital with mums??? Has anyone had their babies/husbands room in with them post surgery and would you recommend it? Additionally would love to hear from other mums who have had a thyroidectomy - what was recovery like and was it difficult to look after baby?

Many thanks.
