How long was your hospital stay?

petitmonstree

With DD I stayed 4 days but mostly by choice. I don't really want to stay that long this time. I know it all depends on a few different things but how long was your stay? I tried searching this but the bump search hates me and gives me totally random results lol.

Just under 48 hours each time. My OB would have been fine with me staying another day, but I'd rather be at home where I can sleep.

With each of my 3 I had c sections on Monday and went home early Thursday.

The first time I stayed for three days. This time the doctor says that as long all goes well we go home after two days.

A bit shy of 48 hrs (unplanned cs).

4 nights, which is standard at my hospital for a csection.

I had my section on a Thursday and went home Saturday morning.

My OB told me this time, I can leave as early as Wednesday and as late as Friday. We'll see how I'm feeling. My RCS is Monday.

First time 5 days, the second I was there two nights and left by noon on that last morning.

Exactly this for me, too.

4 nights with the first, 3 with the next 2.

It depends on your insurance company & doctor. I called my insurance company to double check what they covered first.. And she had said whatever the doctor feels necessary. (She said most insurance companies say that but I wanted to be sure) with that being said I delivered (unplanned) c section at 5:58p Wednesday and I went home Sunday afternoon. I could have stayed until Monday if I wanted too but went home.

I was there for 4 days. I was induced early Friday morning and my daughter was born in the evening on Friday night. I waited all day to go home that Monday. I think I was finally discharged around 3 pm.

Thanks everyone! Really hoping the longest I have to stay this time is only 3 days. We'll see what happens lol.

Had my c-section late on Sunday and left early on Thursday!

It varied, sort of.

#1: 4 nights, because LO was in the NICU for three days and they had me room in with her on the last night.

#2 & #3: 2 nights / 48 hours. Left with babies still in NICU (for 5 and 11 days, respectively).

#4: Was emergency c/s at 1 am, stayed in hospital for 36 hours ("1 night" technically). Left with baby in NICU for 27 days.

With DD, four days (more like five because I had her early in the morning).  With DS, two days.  I wish I had stayed three with him because I think I overdid it once I got home, resulting in a day of awful back pain, but I felt okay when I was discharged.

I stayed 3 nights.  My c/s was not until 3 pm, then I had bleeding in recovery, so for the next 2 days I was on something every 6 hours to make my uterus contract, and I wasn't really ready to go home.  Morning of the 3rd day post-section, I felt great!

BootsOrHearts

2 nights. They would have let me stay another night if I wasn't comfortable going home.

jesselayne8

DD I stayed one night. DS I stayed 2 nights.

KatFish2011

For my 1st it was 5 days, 4 nights.

For my 2nd it was 3.5 days and 3 nights.

Kaymee

With my first, 4 nights. With my second, 3 nights. I wanted to get home to DS1.

ramfan05

With my first, I had my c-section on Sunday afternoon and went home Wednesday morning, so 3 nights. They told me I could stay another night if I had wanted to, but I was pretty ready to get home by that point (I'd been induced on Saturday morning, so I'd been there plenty long enough!) 

We'll see with this one. I definitely don't want to be there longer than 3 nights if it's not necessary, since DS will be at home this time.

petitmonstree

Thank you everyone!

nagye001

Had my c-section on Friday evening, was up and waking in the hall the next morning, discharge Sunday evening. I'm feeling great!

3 nights 

crando1069

Labor for 5 days and stayed2days after that.

Mrs. Alice

5 days if you count the day I delivered. My twins were in the nicu and we lived out oftown so they let me stay the Max amount of time. I had no complications so it was really medically unnecessary.

ougrad1

5 nights with my first (It was an unplanned section) and 2 nights with my twins (planned section).

brit420

Emergency c section stayed 3 days

Ardmhs83

3 nights and 4 days

Ealdwic

I feel like I was in the hospital for a minimum amount, compared to all these responses! Wow.

I was only there for the night I delivered, and then a full day and night after. Gave birth on Nov. 17th and was discharged the 19th.

annabeanybee

DS was born at 11:10 pm on Saturday, and we were discharged from the hospital on Monday afternoon. I'm only planning on staying one night with this baby. I think the average length of stay is 2 nights for a natural birth and 4 for a C-section.

my3luckycharms

1st one 72 hrs, my blood pressure spiked so I had to go on a med which I needed to be monitor with, 2nd 48hrs - according to the dr I had to be there for exactly 2 days and that I was, with the 3rd just over 36 hrs It was awesome, I had him at 6:21 pm on a Saturday and was home by 8:30 on Monday. All were C-Sections!

MissJenna2011

My first C/S was a 4 day stay, My 2nd C/S was 2 days although my doc would've suggested 3 days if I wasn't just SO ready to be home in my bed! And the same 2 day stay instead of 3 days with my 3rd C/S

Worcbride

with both kids I stayed 5 days

Mittens14

I was induced on Friday morning, had my c-section friday afternoon and went home on Tuesday afternoon.  No complications or anything, I could have gone home on Monday if I wanted to but my doctor urged me to stay one more day so that he could remove my staples before I left instead of making me come to the office the following day to have them removed.

My first was unplanned. I had the section Thursday evening and was released on Sunday. My second was planned, and I was in the hospital from Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon. I had the option to stay another day if I wanted to. So three nights with the first, two nights with the second. I kind of wished I had stayed the extra night, so I could have gone through the cluster feeding in the hospital. I was pretty comfortable nursing in the adjustable hospital bed.
