No visitors. It's exhausting, feel like your hosting but you're in some shite hospital room.
OP, take note. This is a repeated thing. Everyone will want to take pictures with the wife and the baby, which means she needs to do makeup, etc. in between peeing, etc. Again, one or two, fine. More than that, redirect to when you get home.

For your sanity, do NOT allow a bunch of visitors. They can come visit you after you get home.
Strongly disagree. Get your quick visits in during the day at the hospital and let us rest when we get home. People feel more rushed at a hospital but will stick around too long at your house.

My niece had a kid in January. She went for a whole day of work, got off, packed up, she was scheduled to have it early the next more, back home the next day.
They pop them out and ship them off pretty quick.

First = minimum 1.5 days in labor.

Enjoy the little one! Spend a lot of time with the baby at the hospital but take advantage of sending the baby to the nursery for a bit so you and your wife can get a couple hours of actual sleep… because there isn’t much of that with the nurses coming in and out and the baby crying.

Depends, both of mine came via section. We were there 3 nights for the second (planned section), and 4 nights for the first (emergency section).

I can’t remember if the first was one or two nights but we basically told them we had had enough and were leaving.
Second we had at some hippie birthing center with a midwife
We were home about 4 hours after the birth. Highly recommend.

Didn't Bush 43 or Obama sign legislation allowing women 2 days, or 48 hours, after birth?
Posted on 3/17/26 at 9:25 pm to AZTiger7072
2 nights for all three

Had our first in October. Wife had a C section and we spent 3 nights in the hospital. Buy a nice air mattress to sleep on baw.

I have 4 kids.
We were 1 overnight for all of them.
Luckily, the babies were all healthy enough to come home with us. With bilirubins, it was cutting it close on a couple of them (feed the heck out of the newborns. Poop eliminates the bad blood quickly).

Let "us" rest? If you're tired, that's a you problem with sleep management. The woman just did a string of Crossfit workouts, going through labor, and you held her hand at 3 AM?
You either have a strong pimp hand to slap your woman when she gets out of line, or you're just a moron. "Quick visits?" Nobody that goes to a hospital (women) are in for "quick" visits. When exactly do women feel rushed? Most of them can't be rushed if you're about to miss a flight because they needed their special SBux drink.

Arrived on a Monday night, delivered Tuesday morning, left Wednesday morning. She was ready to get the hell out of there. Between doctors, nurses, lactation consultants, nutrition, janitors, you're having someone pop in the room every 15 minutes and not getting any sleep. Plus shite is beeping and buzzing all night when they come to check vitals.

Got there at 7am. Delivered at 830am. Left at 11am. They do it differently in Germany. They looked him over, measured him, wiped him off, put him in my wife's arms. They came back in an hour and asked if everything was ok and I said yeah and asked why, and the nurse said they were wondering why were just sitting there. So we went home.

One of my sisters was born on the economy in Japan. Two hours into labor, they stuck a vacuum in and suctioned her arse out. Sent home six hours later.

This came up one night at my run group. British guy lived in China when his wife had their first baby. The maternity hospitals there keep the wife and baby up to 3 months. They have full care for the mom and baby while the mother gets readjusted. Dude said they got tired of it after about a month and left.
She’s having a baby here in Bham soon. They’ll be lucky to be there for two days. She’s getting nervous.

Why? We had babies in caves for thousands of years. We had midwives to have babies at home. Let me guess, social media contagion.

2 nights 3 full days (got out 7pm) during early April 2020 peak COVID. Sleeping on that U shaped couch with nurses scolding me at 4am because my mask slipped down was something.
