I read entirely too much (which is usually the worst!). I was curious, what do the STM+ think about rooming in? Did you keep your baby in your hospital room overnight or did you have the nurses take him/her to the nursery? I feel like I definitely want her in my sight at all times, or else I'd be paranoid, but from what I've gathered, most moms, nurses, and doctors say you need the rest. What did ya'll do? And will you be doing things differently this time around?

SURPRISE!!! Emma Leigh - due 8/27/2015 (c-section date 8/7/2015)
Side note: they did take dd for 2 hours since I was hysterical at one point from lack of sleep and she wouldn't stop screaming. I kept telling them she didn't seem like she was on the noob correctly, and was told she was. She wasn't and wasn't getting hardly anything to eat, according to the hateful lactation consultant who angrily stormed into my room the next morning first thing, to tell me I should give up breastfeeding since I wasn't "grasping" it.
Bitch, please. I made it 14 months after she said that
If I was given the option I would also keep her with me. Have to start getting used to taking care of a newborn sooner or later...
And... Are you really going to sleep that great in a hospital anyway!!!

I'll be doing the same thing this time. They'll only allow her to room with me if someone(like hubby) are in the room bc I'll be having a c-section.
Praying we'll have that option at least if there aren't complications!
Baby #2 is due
