Weird question, would a hospital allow the baby to go home without the mommy? I'm thinking about…

Yes , that's if you have to stay.

ppl can wait til u get out the hospital!

@_stephanie.g, I'm having a c-section, so I know traditionally my stay would be longer. I was planning on having my c-section and staying until Friday, which my doctor already approved, but after the fight last night, I wouldn't mind staying until Saturday and telling him have fun with her for the night.

It all depends on the hospital. My friend had to stay in the hospital for a month after her c-section & the baby was discharged while she stayed @emily18234

@mrssmithmomof3, my fiance got pissed off last night when I told him I wasn't comfortable with his friend coming to the hospital since I'll be relearning breastfeeding and recovering from surgery, I'd rather him wait a whole day and visit us when we got home. he got pissed off so I'm just going to tell him sign her out and he can have her for the night so I can recover

thats ridiculous! he should be more concerned with u feeling comfortable than his friend coming to the hospital. Ppl can wait 2 damn days for yall to get home...im having this same issue...friends are mad cuz i dont want any visitors while at the hospital. my other kids wont even be there til the day we are released. ppl are not entitled to be all in you or your baby's face when u just had a baby. and ppl have to respect your space. your SO can be mad all he wants but he's not the one having a freaking baby. tell him suck it up and get over it. his friend can wait and everybody else can wait.

@mrssmithmomof3, he's apparently mad because I asked that we don't post pictures of the baby until Easter, 5 days after she's born. the second he protested that last night I told him to just do it. it meant something to me because my son won't be able to meet her until Easter, so it hurts that the whole world got to meet her before him. But I get he's excited over it, so I told him just post the stupid pictures then. he's still mad.

@emily18234, honestly if that means something to you I don't blame you and you should keep it at the 5 days you want to introduce her because he will eventually get over being mad but you and your son will always remember this that he wasn't first to see his sister or that you didn't stick to your gut and wait like you wanted that will live with you forever. So I would let him be mad for a little while.

@emily18234, dont let him stress you out

@desi720, I can't control what he does though realistically. he could post the pictures and somehow block me from seeing it to keep the peace, and I'd rather him not start day 1 sneaking things with her. like, she is both of ours, so I don't think pictures should be something worth fighting about. but telling me "it's not your fault" my son doesn't get to see her. I get its not your fault, that's why I'm not mad at you. but take my feelings into consideration. and it's not like I'm trying to keep her from everyone. I OKed his mom coming to the hospital as she pleases and also said he could send out a pic to everyone in his family. But I just feel like friends should take a backseat to someone who is the life giver to the child.

Oh yeah I totally understand I would want to wait until my other kid sees the baby b4 everybody else. thats a beautiful moment and just let them bond...then everybody can see her. but if u compromise then he has to compromise too! @emily18234

@mrssmithmomof3, exactly!! he's mad because I ask his friends to wait 5 days but I can't be mad because my son has to wait??

@emily18234, I see he can still do it behind your back. You guys still have time to find a compromise. I would talk to him about sending out pic to people instead of posting it on social media that's what I plan on doing. I plan on keeping my baby off social media for as long as possible and if family wants pictures il send pictures.

yea thats not fair to u or your son...he should understand that...yall should just take the 1st few days to bond with baby and be a family especially when your son comes home. Im sure he is excited but he should just take some time enjoying being a dad...and if you have a c section u def need time to recover b4 everybody is all up in yall face @emily18234

@emily18234, if your gonna be relearning breastfeeding then you shouldn't be thinking about having your husband take the baby home since you won't be able to breastfeed. Kind of a pointless argument to me if the reason you don't want people visiting is because your going to try and learn that. But as far as pictures go and stuff maybe texting a picture instead of posting on social media would work for you guys. Everyone's friends and family get excited and can't wait to see the baby, but your mom and after c sections your out of it for awhile with all the drugs they give you. (I had one with my son). So I see both your sides.

I didnt read all the comments bc I'm lazy.. but if you wanna give baby the boob then keep baby close.. taking baby from you could prove detrimental bc it just spend 9mo in your body so it kind of senses you and is close to just you.. it'll be looking for that immediately after birth.. also, I wouldn't be having anyone around baby for a few days due to it being cold seaskn, allergy season, it could just be bad. people can wait and your dude and watch baby at the hospital with you while you rest. the nurses may offer to take baby to the nursery to give you any break you need for rest too, @emily18234

@beccaescobar, I meant because with my son when I was learning breastfeeding I just kept them out even though I had to pump. I was to be as naked as I want without random drop ins. I don't have a problem with his mom seeing me naked, but his frat type buddy who fucks anything with a pulse? yeah, not trying to give him nip slips.

@gypsy.soul2 it wasn't for a rest really. it was "if other people seeing the baby is more important than giving me tome to recovery, you take her and I'll recover
