Pat, you took the words out of my mouth!
I am no fan of staying in a hospital beyond actual need, but this is ridiculous!

>Excuse me, but isn't a c-section major abdominal surgery? esp if mom has
labored for x hours first? This is so insane. We have no system in US for
close follow up of mother/baby at home.  Many moms have little or no
help/extended family etc.  Sure looks like a path to disaster to me, not to
mention failure of breastfeeding :-(  Drive thru deliveries are coming
folks! Back to work in a week or 2!   We have no repect for motherhood or a
"lying in " period.  Just one more things for women to tack onto their
lives.  And then we wonder why families fall apart.  Ack!  Pat in SNJ<
