I had a vaginal delivery with my DD, I was discharged 48 hours after she was born. I think I heard that you usually stay one additional day with a c-section for a singleton. Is it same with twins - 2 days for vaginal delivery and 3 days for c-section?
Re: How long were you in the hospital after you delivered?
Yep, it's the same as a singleton.
My insurance covered 4 days, so we stayed for 4 days.
4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!
sFET 11/9/11 - Beta 11/18 BFP!
I had my csection with the twins at 4pm on a monday and was discharged on wednesday by 2 pm,
I guess it depends on how you feel I was already up and walking tuesday before noon
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

I delivered sunday around noon (double whammy). I was given the all clear to be discharged tuesday if I wanted it with the option to stay until Thursday.
Since my girls were in the NICU, I chose to stay until Thursday. It was easier to have someone bring me food, bring me my meds, and be just down the hall from my babies. I also think these extra few days helped with my pumping in the beginning as I didn't have any other responsibilites and wasn't trying to do too much.
I went in Friday afternoon to be monitored... little did I know what was coming! I was induced that night, delivered emergency C on Saturday morning and went home Wednesday. So 5 nights.
Lots MoMs on this board delivered after days or weeks of hospital bedrest, so that's just one more thing to consider (as if you don't have enough going on right now!)
