Karen,
This was how it was handled after my C/S. In order to have the baby with me
in recovery... I had to supply a support person. My hubby and mum took truns
sitting in recovery with me and the babe. I can't imagine this caused any
staffing problems, since we did not see any staff until time to move to the floor...
