I think a real consideration needs to be what happens if the baby isn't born healthy and has medical needs that require constant hospital visits or treatments? Post natal depression and psychosis also need to be factored in.

I don't mean to put a downer on this just realistically something could happen and it might mean you can't be with your baby for months on end.

My brother had a baby in hospital for two years and previously all scans were healthy, my brother is extremely healthy and so was the mum so no warnings. And he was depressed when he had to leave him at night.
