When I went, I didn't have a child yet, which complicates everything while making the securing of help even more imperative--not just for the child's sake, but for the mother's. I'll speak only for myself here. Having an infant is very stressful in an odd, consuming way.

I can understand her concern about her baby, but if it weren't for the hospital I might not be here. If a hospital stay is a strong consideration for her she shouldn't tell them that she is suicidal because that alone can cause later stress when you feel like its time to leave. Not to mention the 24 hour watch they put on you.
