I wasn't able to care <strong>for</strong> my baby as he was inthe special care nursery and I really would have appreciated the supportas I felt quite down.”“My husband was able to stay at the hospital…after the birth. Thiswas a huge relief as he was invaluable in helping me to care <strong>for</strong> ourbaby after having had a c-section…having him there really cut downthe requirement of the nurses to care <strong>for</strong> me and my baby.”6Note, that this does not necessarily include being made to feel welcome overnight.* Denotes a response rate of less than 25%27
