i did. i gave birth at almost 2 in the morning and I was tired. I sent Olive to the nursery and slept for 3 hours!

Placenta delivery took about an hour after birthing LO, then I slept about an hour, and then I held LO for the 1st time, DH took good care of her in the meantime!

Nope! Despite not having adequate sleep in over a week thanks to lots of false labor, I couldn't sleep & was up ready to socialize! Lol

No! I couldn't close my eyes for even a second before I saw Baby Boy, which was 4 hours later! It was excruciating.

I was on a super high then crashed like crazy after everything quieted down. Sadly, 1 hour after I crashed it was time to wake up and feed the baby already!

No I wasn't tired after either! I was definitely on a high both times. But after my super long labor with Wagon Jr. I eventually ended up taking a nap. I think. I don't even remember.

Yes, i was so sick and medicated, plus baby was taken away immediately.

No. I had a hemmorage and had to stay on a bunch of medication and IVs for an additional 12 hours and I was way too uncomfortable to sleep. Not in too much pain,but had to be on a catheter post childbirth which was insanely uncomfortable because they had to make sure my kidneys were functioning and I was producing plenty of urine. So no, no sleeping lol

I delivered at 2 in the morning. I was so out of it after 36 hours of crappy labor and then my baby need resuscitation and going straight to the nicu. Ugh. After a while they took her and I sent my husband with her and the team left and I was sort of alone, which I actually enjoyed. Then I went and met her, and then I spent a little time with my family, and then I learned to pump. Then I slept for 2 hours? And then it was morning. So barely.

No, I stayed up cuddling her and texting my family and friends in England the whole time. I couldn't get enough of her!

Nope. I didn't sleep til 36 hours after she was born.

What's funny, though, is that she didn't fall asleep for the first time until 6.5 hours after she was born.

I did a couple hours after delivery. I was exhausted. I woke up at 3:00am and DS was born at 9:17 pm. I'd say we probably went to sleep around 11ish. I got a few hours sleep before a nurse came in and decided I needed to practice walking at 2 or 3 in the morning. Annoying!!

Sort of... We got to recovery room at about 7pm, ate something, bathed LO, and then tried to sleep -- I just kept staring at my son in disbelief of the day! Between the 4hr checks on me & baby and BFing I def did get some Zzzz's.
