I had my daughter at a birthing center with midwives. No drugs by choice but I am not opposed to them. The law in my state says you must stay at least 4 hours after the birth and the baby must be checked by a doctor before leaving. I went home just under 6 hours after giving birth and was fine. Katie will have more than enough help on hand and since she can't talk to the baby for a week it's not like she needs to do anything but rest. I wonder if she will nurse or if they hired someone for that?
