Bless you, I'm sure that can't have been easy.Having given birth at that hospital twice and both times been left on Postnatal with my babies in NICU I wouldn’t say it’s normal. From my experience my husband was sent home. The first time was 4 hour after I gave birth and had our son sent to NICU unplanned and second time 10 hours after a planned NICU admission. Don’t get me wrong they were brilliant with him visiting etc but he wasn’t given a bed or able to stay with me.
Something very odd about the lenghts they went to to accommodate him.
