When my wife gave birth to our daughter we had a room to stay in. Every 1.5-2 hours the nurses came in to ask questions and run tests. It was maddening. My wife had to finally cry and beg them to stop. Afterward, we managed about a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.


Our experience as well. I was in the room as well the whole time and it was ridiculous how often somebody came in to do something.

With exception of one nurse, every single person pushed back against us asking for fewer interruptions and said it was for the baby and mom. One nurse basically acted like my spouse was acting entitled for wanting to sleep. I wanted to swear at that nurse and throw her out of the room.

One of the night nurses realized my spouse was about to collapse and found a way to let her sleep for 3 hours.
