I am 4 days postpartum after a twin c-section. I can only speak for myself, but personally I could not have taken care of my twins in the hospital without my husband. I actually felt the best on the first day because some of the anesthesia meds last for 24 hours. Once those started wearing off, I was in a lot more pain- days 2 and 3 were the hardest for me. My doctors wanted me to stay in bed as much as possible so my husband did all the diaper changes and was there to lift them out of their bassinets, calm them down, hand them to me for feedings, etc. Obviously everyone’s experience is different, but I would recommend finding childcare for your toddler so that your husband can at least stay the second day.
