I want to try and spend as much time as I can (will probably have to due to kidney problems) as this is my first and I have no idea what I am doing and at the hospital where I am having bubs they have people called in house grandmas they come round every day and show you and help you with everything, so it will be nice to get some advice,
I do say though after spending a few days in hospital recently they really need to do something about the nutritional content of the food, HELLO people we are New mummies and still baking ones we NEED our vitamins, it was good that my mummy brought me her cooking lol
I stayed in 3 days with DS and I wanted to stay in Hospital as he was my first and I wanted to have some help on hand at the click of a button. They showed me loads of things too and even enabled me to rest more than if I had of been at home. I think with public (don't quote me) you are entitled to 5 days care, so you can choose to stay in hospital for as many days as you need, but you then get the rest of the days as follow up at home. I had two days of home visits with the hospital midwife to check my stiches and on DS. I fully intend on doing the same with #2.
Good luck with what you decide.....just roll with it and see how you feel.
With DD I had her at 10:24pm on the Tues and left hossy after lunch on the Thurs, so 2 nights. This time I hope to only be in over night then back home to DH and my beautiful DD.
