yes but not for too long & make sure you feel your best when you see him/her...that way they will know that mommy is just fine and they won't worry about you....congratulations on your new baby!

It depends on your child, is he/she very sensative and not able to handle when someone is hurting, and then you have to think about your well being, will he/she jump on you and cause a lot of pain? If your child can see that you are in pain and know not to jump on you and he/she is OK with you being in pain, I do not see what the problem would be. The doctors though may have a problem with it, it depends on the hospital. I think a new born baby is the most sweetest family time and if the chance arrises you should let your three year old be there.

This question hits home with me, I had a baby last march and at the time my oldest daughter was 3 years old, Yes include your 3 yr old in as much as you can, my daughter felt like a "Big Girl" when I let help or just be a part of anything that I did. She was there through the C-section and came in to see me and her sister right after they wheeled me into a room, also I made it a point that my daughter was there with me I told my husband and my parents and my in-laws that I wanted my daughter to be there as much as she possibly could, I was afraid of the jealousy issues....But also keep in mind that you will be in pain for the first couple of days and you'll have to physically take it easy with the 3 yr old, any who I could write for days about this I hope my info. was helpful in some way....Good luck and Congrats........

The hospital does the I am a big sister or brother label and see the baby which means they are moved up a notch and get to help...My daughter thought it was the berries and dont forget the "I love my sis/bro...(name of new baby) Tshirt for the three year old...this will leave an impression if only you get a t shirt with a marker pen and do it up with flowers cars teddy bears etc...

Yeah you should let your 3 year old come and see for him/her self that you are okay and will be home soon. Also to see the new baby and get acquainted. Even tho there is some pain you will be able to get through a visit with your 3 year old.

properly if she actually has no person then she needs to hire somebody. does not she have day cares in her section? She would desire to even bypass on craigslist and hire a nanny off there. If all else fails she'll would desire to positioned him in a foster homestead for 3 days. No the wellbeing facility does not enable him to be there for 3 days with out yet another person supervising him.

Why not? If the hospital allows it? Kids that age get very scared if they think something's REALLY wrong with Mommy.Besides, it'll also be a chance to meet the new sibling....

Absolutely! Your child will miss you while you are gone. Letting the child see you in the hospital will probably help with the transition to "big sibling" as well.

Yes he or she is going to need Mommy more than ever! It is important though that you try and convey it is not the baby that hurt you so there is no animosity toward the new family member.

Of course! Your 3 yr old might be wondering whats going on...where's mommy....etc. The visit would help he/she to understand.....and see the new baby!

Yes, he/she needs to know you and the new baby are fine. Just make sure you are sitting down or in bed. ( Oh, and don't let him jump on your tummy! ;)
I kept a pillow on my tummy when my daughter visited after my c-section. (That kept the incision protected and she was less likely to accidentally bump my tummy when she climbed up on my bed.)
