The post partum stay is the worst because they will only allow you and your wife in the room, shes recovering from major trauma and neither of you have slept in 48 hours and there's a brand new screaming baby to take care of with no ones help. Do a home birth if you can.
I tried to do this (had unmedicated vaginal) but then they said the pediatrician didn't want to let my daughter go because she has to be monitored for jaundice (she was fine and saw her ped the next day).
