Congratulations on the weight gain; it's always such a relief to hear that your body is doing just what it should do at just the right rate for you and baby =)<br><br>b) Wow, a six-hour discharge? SIX HOURS?!<br><br>I know we don't know each other, but for what it's worth, I'd stay longer than six hours if you can. That has nothing to do with breastfeeding - after all, you can always schedule a lactation consultant to come by your house or to discuss breastfeeding with you at the pedi appointment, and you can always ask other women you know who have breastfed for their help - it's just that delivering is exhausting. Having the help of a nurse when all you want to do is sleep and when you aren't sure what is normal and not normal for your body postpartum (i.e. having the ability to ensure that the cramping or bleeding is not too severe and that there is not an infection, etc) is priceless.

The prep, recovery, and everything else was all in my room.<br><br>Sounds like you are thinking ahead very well!Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12652107321069740503noreply@blogger.com
