When I had my children, usual practice in NHS hospitals was for mother
and child to stay in hospital for 10 days after the birth; it was called
"lying in". All we had to do was rest and recover in bed, feeding and
doting on our newborns; it was bliss. Midwives were there to help and
reassure first timers with everything, including all night.

These days even first time mothers normally take the baby home within
24 hours of delivery. IMHO they are really missing out on the rest, care
and support we enjoyed.

I got no rest at all. Because I had complications, I was there for two days
but then she developed jaundice so she had to go into the pediatric wing
which was under remodel. So not only was it noisy, but freezing! I had no
bed to sleep on. Just a chair with a part that pulled out and it was most
uncomfortable. Husband and I were both there and we took turns attempting
to sleep, which as you can imagine, didn't go well.

After my elder son's birth, J was in the hospital for 10 days. Not only
that, within 30 minutes of the birth, the nurse asked her what she would
like to eat and suggested a steak!

After that son's 1st was born, my d-i-l and baby were discharged about 3
hours later and when I phoned (from the UK) they were on their way home
and my son was getting her a hamburger at a drive-through!

They had steak in the hospital? Ha! Not here. They had nothing I'd want
to eat except for the applesauce. I was very happy to have a hummus cup and
water biscuits with me.
