This has really been bothering me since yesterday when we had our hospital tour. Our tour guide informed us that while the hospital does have a nursery, they discourage it's use. Okay. I'm on baby #4 and had my 3 other children at a different hospital and they did not have an issue with taking them to the nursery overnight and bringing them to me to nurse. I found this time to rest after birth invaluable in recovery and my sanity.

I am really nervous now that I will be met with resistance should I want baby to go to the nursery and I know in my raw state after birth I'm going to feel insecure and judged, like I am a bad parent for wanting some rest (which I know I am not). Ugh, it is really giving me bad anxiety. I don't see why they would keep the nursery if they don't want people to use it! And they made no mention of this on their website virtual tour so I feel blindsided.
