For ladies who have delivered - what's the first 24 hours after you deliver in the hospital like?

The first hour at least, involves total skin to skin contact with your new baby. After that, we were wheeled to the ward and that's where close family members and friends can start to visit. The baby was by my side almost 24/7 even at night. Nurses came by to teach the baby how to latch on. She went for injections. I watched videos on how to latch and bathe the baby. You won't actually get to rest much in the first 24 hours.
