RCS hospital stay

buggybear87 · March 2013

I'm hoping to only have to stay in the hospital for 2 nights after my RCS in June. I had to stay for 3 nights with my first, but part of that was because I was in over the weekend and we had to take a safetly class before we could get released. Has anyone stayed for only 2 nights after their surgery? Did it impact your recovery? (I recovered amazingly from my first)

I was released after just 2 nights almost 2 weeks ago. I went in Monday morning and they released me Wednesday just before noon. So far my recovery has been great and I have a 21 month old at home too, but I also have MH here for another 2 weeks, so he'

I asked my dr to be released after 2 nights. He was fine with it because I had recovered well. It was my first child but I don't see why you couldn't leave "early". I don't think it impacted my recovery at all:

As long as you are walking and both you and baby are ''dismissed'' then 2 days is plenty enough time to be in a hospital. Scheduled CS's are generally better to recover on as opposed to an emergency CS, if that's of any help.

My own CS with LO1

I'm hoping they'll let me out after 3 nights. I'm pretty sure that's what they did with DD2. I had her on a Friday morning and went home on Monday morning.

I had a spinal with DD2. She was born around 7:30am. The spinal was removed within a coupl

I could have easily left after 2 nights. My first c-section I stayed 2 nights and felt great. This time, my OB fixed my scar and did a special closing technique to help it heal cosmetically and she used a permanent stitch that did not dissolve

With DD1 I stayed 3 full days (had her Monday night, left Friday at noon)

With DD2 I stayed 2 days (had her Tuesday morning, left Thursday at noon)

With DD3 I am having her Monday morning and hope to be out on Wednesday. I heal better at ho

I had an emergency C-section with DD 4 years ago and they kept me 44 hours after her birth. My Mom was sooo mad (she had me 26 years ago and back then, it was 7 days). The nurse and OB said I was doing good, was up walking, was urinating with no proble

I only stayed two nights with my second one. My advice - take the extra day! When you're coming home to a toddler and a newborn, it's a whole different level of recovery.

I was stuck there for 4 nights, but because of HBP issues.

With my first (unscheduled c/s) it was 4 nights at well, 5 nights total since I was there the whole day (induced in the AM) and night before I ended up with my c/s.

I stayed 1 night which was about 30hrs after birth. I healed fine. The OB had no issuese letting me go home but the pedi gave me a hard time about discharging the baby.

I was discharged 23 hours after my c-section. Our LO had been rushed to the NICU at a hospital in another town.

I had a wonderful recovery...never missed a beat. Only needed pain meds for one day after my release.

I was released after 2 days with my first, but because DS was jaundice he had to stay, so I stayed with him a third day. Had him on Wednesday afternoon and was home Saturday evening.

I stayed for two nights with my RCS and it was basically fine. I had REALLY bad back pain for a day four days after surgery, but I think it was because I was using my back muscles to compensate for my abs and I had only been taking tylenol and ibupr

Eleventy11 · March 2013

I only stayed two nights after a mid day emergency c section with my first. I was anticipating a longer stay, but I was out of there. I had DD a little after noon on Monday and came home on Wednesday. I was in the shower five hours after giving birth and

BossMamma83 · March 2013

I was released after 2 nights with both of my previous CS. I was trying to talk my doctor into letting me go home after 1 night with this one and she said absolutely not lol. My gripe in the hospital stay period. You can't really rest wi
