Baby was born on Sunday night and we were discharged Wednesday morning, so about 3 days.  Insurance would have paid for one more day but we were itching to get home.  In retrospect, I wish I had stayed the extra day and taken advantage of the help.

i had him on wednesday and was home by saturday.  I was supposed to stay till sunday but my ob said I was doing great & would be better off at home instead of at the hospital.  I had a quick & easy recovery, thank God.

I had him on Tuesday evening and I was discharged on Friday afternoon.  My MD was willing to send me home on Thursday, but I asked to stay another day so I could recover a little more.

Had her at 1:22 am Friday morning and discharged at 12 pm on Sunday, however I had been there since Wednesday night......

22 hours of labor = soooo much fun...

48 hours.

 ETA: That is standard for the hospital I delivered at. They had me up and walking within 12 hours of his birth.

I started induction Sunday evening, had him at 4pm Monday afternoon and was able to stay until Friday but opted to leave Thursday evening. Now looking back, I would have probably stayed the extra night to get some rest and be taken care of!

I had DD on Wed afternoon and they released me Sunday morning.  I did have the option of leaving Saturday.  However, DD was in the NICU and I opted to stay another day in hopes that she would be released with me.  It didn't happen, but at least I got another day with her without commuting.

32 hours...but my recovery was a walk in the park. I was up and walking 6 hours after my c-section. If you make yourself "look" better they will be more willing to let you go home sooner. Its worked like a charm with both of my csections. As soon as you can walk, go take a shower, do your hair and makeup and put your jeans on. You will look "well" and the dr. will let you go sooner. And also just ask!!! I asked "hey can i go today" he said "sure you want to" and 3 hours later I was out the door.
