Way to add to the stresses of first-time motherhood!

Jeez. The last thing I'm going to feel like doing is arguing tooth and nail with hospital staff having to justify WHY I should be entitled to stay. That's bull.

It's not for first time mums apparently - only 2nd time or more and only those that have had a straightforward vaginal delivery.

Not that I'm condoning it - but at least you won't have to worry Serenity.

Nope not for first time mums as Bobbie and the NZ herald website say anyway.

yes i just read that part so you dont have to worry so for first time mums its better than chch where you are out within three hours unless there is something that means you need to stay(c-section etc) i hate the idea that i have to transfer so quickly:( but at least we have a place to go i guess..

Well they've scrapped the idea because of the uproar it caused.

And where a woman wanted to stay in hospital for social reasons, despite being clinically ready to go home, staff would use their "best endeavours" to accommodate them.

what does stay in for social reasons mean?

I think it's pretty poor, why not put the $100 or whatever it is into incentives for more midwives or towards more beds....

True... I bet if the midwives got an extra hundy for every person they looked after, there wouldn't be such a shortage  

Re: the big clocks in the delivery suites... I'm kinda glad cos I bet I won't feel like wearing my glasses or contacts when I'm in labour and I'm blind as a bat! Lol

bella.. sorry to threadjack(though it is my thread so why not) :) do you have problems with people calling Ella-Grace just Ella..or do you not mind if they don't use the whole name..I had problems(always have but especially) at the Gd test as they kept writing Kerri and my name is Kerri-Anne.. and it matters to me.. !:) my parents just call me KA and they thought I'd go by Kerri but i don't so i spell the whole name every day and explain it's not two names it's one:)
