Did you / Will you let your toddler visit if in for a couple of nights??

Don't mean to scare you but my earliest memory is me screaming the hospital down at 2.5 years when I was leaving after visiting my mam and baby brother. I absolutely did not want to leave without my mam!

I think it would be too cruel to have them away from you that long! They def need to visit, get pics etc. also 2 days seems pretty short a stay for a CS? I was in for 5

My toddler will be 2 1/2 when this baby is born. When I had him, I stayed in the hospital for 5 days due to c-section complications. This time, if all goes as planned, a typical c-section stay is 3 days. I'd hate to be away from my little boy for 3 days, so I definitely want him to come visit. I have a feeling he's going to have a very hard time not being the baby anymore, so I want him to feel very involved in everything.

I was in for a week when I had my eldest. 2 days through induction & 5 days after due to us both having complications.

I ideally want ds to come in & see me at some point everyday but if I'm induced again I'm not so sure about him coming in then. As soon as the baby is born though I'd like him to come as soon as is possible. I do think it'll be hard for him leaving me but at least then DH can talk about the visit & he knows I'm ok. I can also read his bedtime books to him early as that's something he'll really miss as he only wants me to do it.

Kindof hoping however I'll have a text book second labour, go in overnight, have baby and be back home by breakfast the next day! I can dream....!!

I would definitely let my DD visit. My DD is a bit older though and she will have no problem leaving me to go home with my OH or my mum.

with my 2nd my inlaws kept our oldest and he was there the entire time during the csection and met his brother in recovery. They brought him back every day that we were there. I plan on my kids being there this time around too. But my kids will be in school so either my hubby or his parents will have to take them and drop them off. I'm sure your daughter will be ok even leaving you. She may get upset at first but most of the time kiddos will calm down.
