How Long Were You In The Hospital After Giving Birth?

Question

I’m wondering how long you mamas had to stay in the hospital after giving birth.
How long with a normal birth and no complications? 
How long with a C-Section? 
Let me know your answer and your story on why you had to stay the amount of time you did!

Answer

Our hospital does 24 hours after birth for vaginal and 48 hours after birth for C-Sections if all goes well with both.

Answer

2 days.. with each.. all vaginal deliveries.. with my last I went home the day after I gave birth.

Answer

1st was 6 or 7 days because baby had to stay until 5lbs and they let me stay with her.
2nd and 3rd were 2 nights, went home day 3.
All csections.

Answer

I had my daughter on 12/24 and was discharged on 12/26. My water broke on 12/23 and I was induced that afternoon, but I was only 34+2, so it was a premature birth. I could have been discharged earlier but they let me keep my room as long as possible. After that, I lost my room but was usually able to get into a different room later that day as a “nesting mom” (someone with a baby in NICU).

Answer

C section - 4 days

Answer

Our hospital keeps you 48 hours for vaginal, 96 hours for Caesarian.

Answer

I was admitted on Monday, had my son at 100am on Tuesday, and they released us on Friday morning. I was livid. I had a normal vaginal birth with no complications. I had a slight fever right after giving birth, but it quickly came down on its own. My son was a healthy weight and was doing great. Our pediatrician was being overly concerned about the fact that I was O positive and my son was O negative which makes NO sense. The concern is the other way around. He told me I could go home, but he wanted my son to “stay” just in case. I was not going to leave my son. I was soooooooooooooooo mad at him. Still am.

Answer

C section 3 days.

Answer

I was induced on May 28th at 6pm and he was born May 29th at 3.48pm. Released May 30th around 3/4pm. I had a vaginal birth.

Answer

2 days because for first time mom's they want you to stay for 48 hours
