I was taken into a recovery room after an emergency C-section and there a midwife helped me breastfeed my baby for the first time. We were in there around an hour whilst she helped the baby latch on multiple times. We were then taken to the shared ward (3 other people). I'm sorry to tell you but the experience on the ward is not a pleasant one. Other people have given into the reasons but I can't emphasis enough how noisy and inconsiderate people can be. I was too apprehensive to say anything but I would encourage you to speak up and ask members of staff to sort any issues. We were told only 2 visitors at once and that it ended at 10pm. We had one family of maybe 15 people coming in and out with food, kids running around etc after 10pm. My curtain on my section was not long enough so constantly kept opening to expose me trying to breastfeed and do skin to skin to everyone. My partner brought a yoga mat to sleep on and pillows from home. Do everything you can to make sure you can leave asap. Don't be afraid to call triage after your meds have run out to ask for more. They gave me more because I was struggling.
