Gosh how times have changed , thinking back to when I had my son , 23yrs ago , I got to the hospital with an hour to spare before he was born . After he was brought back to me had his first feed , after which he was taken to the nursery , he was small , I was taken to the post-natal ward .I had a private room , complete with lounge seating area . He was returned to me the next day and we had the room just together and stayed in a week . Aweek was the done thing then , gosh you get sent home sooooo early !
