Yeah, my wife and I fled the maternity/recovery ward ASAP after both of our children, because it was so hard to rest and so unpleasant there. The first time, my wife had preeclampsia during the labor and, fair enough, there were some significant interventions to make sure that her recovery was going apace. But the second time? She had a textbook uncomplicated delivery and fundamentally all we were doing was waiting to make sure that nothing crazy cropped up in the first 48 hours after birth. There was no reason for disruptions in our rest every hour or two.
