At my hospital they will take them if you ask. I asked for night 2/3 with dd2 as dh was at home with dd1.
This time they'll get the little guy at night (except for feeding time) even on night one as dh will be at home with the girls and i'll still be restricted to the bed because of C-section. Once i'm more mobile i'll keep him, but it's not safe otherwise.
I'm right there with you, @jbettles. My hospital also doesn't have a nursery and I hate it! I'm a FTM but I've had several very painful abominable surgeries (not related to IF) and I didn't even have to be awake for those. Is it a little too much to have an hour or so of peace to help recover? I told DH that once I'm done delivering, he can go home and sleep if need be. We live only 15 mins away from the hospital.
