I had expressly said that DS was to come with me to recovery. My stupid MW still tried to take him away but I wouldn't let her and DH knew I wouldn't. So no separation here.

Don't worry about hospital policy... there is none. You are the patient and it is your right to not be separated from your child (unless there is a medical need of course). Stay strong, make sure your DP knows and do not let anyone try and talk you around. Ask them to show you their policy on the subject in writing if you have to - guaranteed they won't be able to!

DS and DH came with me to recovery and I was only in there for a short while. It aids in your recovery to have them there.

Goodluck!
