Gataloca - this is why I didn't choose union my first time around. As a newbie to hk, I couldn't accept their strict policies.
Nicole - nice to hear that you have a good impression of the baby-mommy time at the public hospital. That is so important to me, especially if I can't have visitors most of the day.
Liquorice - very interesting, your post, as I might no doubt have a similar experience next week. I just had some follow up Qs: 1) when they took your baby to the nursery, did they just give him back when he woke up and cried for a feeding! What did you do so that they respected your wishes for no bottles, etc? I also want that. 3) when you could hold him in the recovery room, was it soon after, and were you able to put him to your breast ok?
4) you didn't have to be admitted the day before? Interesting. I wonder why it's different. Very funny about being number 3, but nerve wracking waiting around! 5) nice to hear that you were able to discharge yourself after 2 days. What a trooper for being up and about after a day. My first c-section was not like that, hopefully this one will be better. I at least have hope to get discharged early, though I'm now thinking that I'm just soooooooo exhausted that maybe I should just stay in there a while, hehe!
Thanks for all the insight and experiences!
