Straight after the birth, I just lay there, with my numb legs in stirrups, watching the nurses fussing over my daughter whilst the midwife st_tched me up. Me and Max were a bit worried about the baby, but every time we asked if she was ok, they said, "Yes, baby's fine, don't worry", and I'm thinking, "Well if she's fine, why does she still need oxygen and why can't I hold her?" Eventually, they handed me my baby and left me and Max alone with her, for a good 30 minutes. Then they bought another bed in and helped me to climb onto it, which wasn't easy, because my numb legs felt heavy and were flailing all over the place. The hospital porter wheeled me down to the maternity ward and joked that he'd probably see me back there in a year, and my imediate response was, "NO WAY!" They parked me in the ward and put my daughter next to me in her cot, gave Max 5 minutes to say goodbye, then chucked him out! That was the awful part. I needed my husband more than ever, and they wouldn't let him stay. I was left alone to sleep, but I couldn't. The ward was too noisy, and I was a bit shell shocked and tearful, so I just sat there, watching my daughter breath.

when i brought my first son home from the hospital all he did was cry and i could not get him to go to bed that night for nothing..then at about 2 in the morning it dawned on me that he was use to being in my hospital room or in the nursery and there was always a light on so i moved his ba__sanet to the living room and i slept on the couch and the light from the bathroom and the TV was enough he slept fine...later we found out that son was deaf i dunno if one thing had any to do with the other or not...my second son didnt care one way or the other so.....but i guess it makes sence they are use to the light in the hospital then you come home and throw them in a dark room in a new bed? good luck, it is so much fun!!!! enjoy every minute of it cause they sure dont stay small long!!!!
