I wonder if she will nurse or if they hired someone for that?

I'm damn sure not opposed to them. I had 'em and I recommend them to all my friends. My son was several weeks overdue, I had to be induced, the water had to be manually broken, hooked up to Pitocin (which makes the contractions alot more painful) and forced to lie on my left side for 12 frigging hours hoping the boy would turn and come out properly - (he was face up or as the doctor said - sunny side up) which he did not. Once I was done, I wanted to go home, but since the boy needed to be circumcised, we couldn't leave. Circumcision done the next day & we went home after being there for about 36 hours.
