Do you need your husbands during your hospital stay?

With my first son, my husband was hunting and DS came 4 weeks early so the first 5 days of his life his dad didn't even know he was here....It was really snowy where he was at and the State Troopers wouldn't even attempt to go get him. When he got home he saw DS in my arms and said what did you borrow one to practice with! :)

He will DEFINITELY be there with me as long as I stay! This is our first baby and even if I didn't want him there, he would DEMAND to be there with me and the new baby. I can't imagine it any other way either.

Baby #1- we all stayed at the hospital for 8 days- he was a premie, so DH stayed with me, and then we moved into a family suite in the NICU for the last 6 days.

Baby #2- he stayed the 1st night the 2nd night he went home to take care of #1

Baby #3- he stayed the 2nd night, 1st he was taking care of #1
&2
Baby #4- just me and my baby- DH had his hands full at home- lol I think he was more exhausted then me til we came home.

It was nice having him there, but more emotional support then anything. I'm always back on my feet and ready to go pretty much as soon as the baby pops out so maybe I'm just weird.
