The day your baby is born you shouldn't be made to be paraded to the world. It's a private day for the family and not for every Tom to be trying to analyse what you're wearing, is your bump still obvious and what does your new baby look like? It would be lovely to see them be allowed to take the new baby home without the media glare and then have a public photo opportunity a few days later. Let mum have a few days of unwashed hair in her dressing gown being a mum first and someone for the voyeurs to ogle second.

However Mrs Joan Bloggs out there need not feel one bit inferior, it's really your everyday woman that is beyond fantastic to do all she does after leaving hospital without a fraction of the help Kate has.

I think her staying an extra night in the hospital would have been met with understanding. As far as I know, this was her quickest exit to date. I don't think it's bashing really. I have no interest in bashing her but my eyebrows did rise at how quickly she left the hospital post-birth because it would have meant she was in hair and make-up very, very soon after birth. It's not the same as someone doing their own make-up and hair. She would have people swarming around her in addition to the medical staff. It doesn't seem like she would have got much time to rest. I'm not keen on people being called bashers just for thinking of these things and saying them. Honestly, I felt a bit concerned for her.

Now, I know she will have had a private room and bathroom which helped, but I suspect that them not spending time at the hospital was partly because she would be more comfortable at home, but it could even have been due to heightened security measures in London, or possibly they didn't want the hospital besieged by callers the way that poor nurse was duped by an Aussie radio station and subsequently killed herself. She'll probably have the best of midwifery & obstetric care at home anyway.

I’d take that deal myself.

Now whether that's a reflection on anyone else or whoever regards Kate as a role model is really their own business, but women have been doing this kind of thing for as long as I can remember anyway. I really don't think there's anything new here that should have anyone overly concerned.
