C-sections

How long was your hospital stay?

How many nights were you in the hospital for your c-section? With #1, I was there for forever (5 days, 4 nights)--not due to complications just b/c of time of day (water broke early in the morning went into hospital around 7am labored for about 18 hours or so and DD was born around 1am). #2 will be scheduled so assuming it will be a little be shorter but curious what it was for everyone else

Re: How long was your hospital stay?

  • I was in for 4 nights and 5 days due to my baby being in the NICU. Went in for surgery at 1230 on Tues and he was released on Sat, so my Dr released me as well. :)

  • I was there from Tuesday to Friday. I would have been discharged on Thursday, but my LO had a jaundice problem so they kept me one more night. I didn't have any complications so I guess my doc was comfortable with not keeping me another night, but since my LO wasn't well, they did.

  • I was in for 4 days, my Dr told me I could leave after 3 but I decided to stay the extra day, when else will you have free 24 hr childcare?!?!

     I have no clue how I will handle the next one, I'm sure I'll miss DD too much to want to be in the hosp for 4 days.

  • I was induced in the morning, had DS the following morning and was released 2 days later. So all together 4 days and 3 nights. My insurance would have paid for another day in the hospital for both of us but my OB and Pediatrician said we were ok to go and I was ready to go home.

  • I was admitted late Tuesday night, had DD at 1:56 Wednesday morning, and was discharged on Sunday.  My recovery went well and I could have gone home a day earlier, but insurance covered four nights after the surgery (which happened in the middle of the night, so I kind of got a bonus), and it was nice having meals and everything taken care of.

  • I was in a total of 5 nights with ds, 3 were after the birth.  Loooong labor that landed me nowhere lol.  This time my doc's office said that 2 nights is standard for a scheduled with no complications.

  • Admitted 9 pm on Monday due to water breaking. Failed induction(never went into labor on my own), and had a c-section 10:55 pm on Tuesday.  Went home Saturday afternoon.  If breastfeeding was working, I would have went home Friday. They wanted to give me another night with access to LCs. DS didn't latch until two weeks later.

  • I was admitted on Wednesday night for an induction, and had my c/s Thursday afternoon. I could have been discharged on Sunday (3 days) but DD was having issues so they kept me for another night. She then needed to be admitted to pediatric floor when I was discharged on Monday. We spent one night there so in total, I was in the hospital from Wednesday night - Tuesday night.

  • I went in Saturday @ 9am for induction and left Wednesday @ around 2. So i guess that's *counts on fingers* 4 full days & 4 full nights. And they said i could stay another day if I wanted. OH NO!! That was plenty for me lol

  • Forever.  I was admitted (in labor) around noon on a Monday, had c/s around 11 that evening, and wasn't released until midday Friday.  But I had an epidural headache and my BP was kind of wonky so they were monitoring me closely.

    I'm hoping for a shorter stay this time around!

  • 4 nights 5 days because of bleeding out during surgery and DS had jaundice.
  • 19 days...I was supposed to only stay for 4 nights(DS was born at 9:30 PM on Tuesday and we were both supposed to be released on Sat)    However, on Sat I was transferred to CCU(my hemoglobin dropped and I was very very sick)   I wound up spending almost a week in CCU and then 1.5 weeks in a step down unit.   Went home for 5 days and then had to go back in for another 9 days.    I was in the hospital for most of DS's 1st month.

  • 6 days. Induction, incompletely vaginal and then a c/s at 2:55am Saturday so my first full day out of the 3 after a c/s didn't start until Sunday.

  • Our required stay was 3 nights. I had DD at 11:46p so as of midnight it counted for my first night, even though I didn't get to my recovery room until about 4a. DD was officially born on a Sunday night and we left Wednesday morning/afternoon. I was dying to leave! We had shared rooms in the hospital; it was cramped and I couldn't sleep at all.

  • 4 nights, 5 days.  I was ready to go sooner, but they let me stay because my babies were in the NICU.
  • 4 days. would have been out by 3 but my baby had jaundice so we stayed an extra day.
  • Usually 3 days, baby #4 will be my 4th c/s so I'm thinking about the same for him too.

  • DD was born just before 8 PM on Monday and I left around 2 PM on Thursday (Thanksgiving!). I could have stayed another day, but I was ready to go home and they were starting to try to push formula on DD. I'd done enough fighting so off we went!

  • DS was found to be breech at 39 week appt.; scheduled the C-section for the next day- Friday at 5pm; discharged from hospital (by my request) Sunday at noon.  I am very thankful that I did not have much difficulty at all with recovery from this surgery.  The only reason the physician gave me as a reason to stay in the hospital one more day was because of my choice to breastfeed- make sure I was comfortable with it.  I felt comfortable enough to say- GET ME OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.  ;) (and was successful for a little over a year with breastfeeding and have a happy healthy 19 month old today).
