Mamas, how were you treated?
If you gave birth in a hospital, how did they treat you? My son is now 3, but looking back on the day we got discharged was a bit traumatic and I want to know if it was just me or if that's just what happens. Firstly, I had to get an emergency cesarean. I was told it might happen, but chances were it wouldn't lead to that. Next thing I knew the lights flooded on as I was halfway asleep
(after almost 24 hours of being awake)

a crew of like 5 practicing students and 3-5 doctors/nurses come rushing in, they get me in that oxygen mask before I can ask what's happening, and refuse to wake my husband.

So I'm yelling for him as they are now manually breaking my water and shaving me quickly, prepping me. Long story short, days after I had our boy, we were released. We got our discharge papers and no one came back. We walked out a half an hour later after we got done packing our stuff and asked if we could leave - the woman asked if we got the papers and we said yes but it was while I was taking a last bath and my husband was asleep next to our son... I didn't get to have that time to ask additional questions. It felt rushed. She said we could leave, and so we left. Alone. I thought (because with my mom's experience at the same hospital years before) they walked her out to the car for additional help, just until they got there. We ended up getting lost in the building and I need to sit down at this point.

My husband ended up having to ask three different people who worked there for directions to the specific parking lot we were in. Am I just being over sensitive about it because I had such an emotional experience with the cesarean? I didn't expect "the works" but we did at least expected a goodbye. I don't know.
