As promised I have started a new thread on this. I am involved in the planning of a new maternity hospital. Ours is going to move to be near a general hospital for emergencies.
The plans are that there will be rooms that you deliver in then go home after 24 hours - sooner if possible, all being well. Some midwives are horrified that women will be going home too soon - especially those who have other children and perhaps need the rest.
Does anybody feel that they would have liked to stay longer? Did anyone feel 'kicked out'.
Is there a need to be in hospital after an uncomplicated birth?
