In the paper

How long were you in hospital?

Great Nan (mother of 3)

Well, I wasn’t in hospital but I had to stay in bed for nine days (with a natural birth) and I was allowed up on the tenth day.

Nan (mother of 4)

Seven days was standard practise in my day although by the time I had my last child I was allowed home much quicker.

Mum (mother of 2)

10 days after a caesarean was standard practise.

Me (mother of 1)

I had Erin by caesarean and left hospital after 36 hours. I can’t believe the difference between my time in hospital and Mum’s. Well seen we live at a faster pace these day – 10 days bed rest for Great Nan!
