1st - csection I stayed 1 night (about 32hrs)
2nd- 2 nights
I could have stayed 3 nights both time but I didn't want to stay a minute longer than I had to.
TTC#1 for 19 months with PCOS and MFI IUI#3 + injectables = BFP!!!! Beta#1-134(13dpiui) Beta #2-392(15dpiui) #1 born December 2011
TTC#2 - Beta #1 -51@10dpo Beta#2 -1353 @16dpo #2 born May 2013
TTC # 3 June 2014 BFP 12-1-14
#3 born August 2015 #4!!!!!!! due June 2017
I stayed 4 nights (basically five because I got the the hospital at night and had DD the next morning) the first time and 2 nights the second time. I could have stayed another night with #2 and I wish I had because I think I pushed myself too hard when I got home.
DD born 10/10/07 * DS born 11/25/11 * #3 due 3/9/2015
I checked in 7am Tuesday morning, had lo via ecs that night. Checked out at noon on Friday. So 3 nights.
Eta - I was afraid if I didn't push to get out Friday, they wouldn't discharge me over the weekend and I'd have to stay until Monday. I don't know where I got that idea. For this pregnancy, I'm going in for a rcs on a Monday, hoping to go home by Wednesday.
I've had two. For the first, I stayed four nights, though the hospital was trying to release me after three (but I opted not to go because there was a snow storm in progress...). OB had offered that 4 nights were covered. This time, insurance apparently covered up to 5 days, but the hospital was looking to discharge me after two nights. Honestly, I would have stayed a third night, except that their new "baby friendly" policies are not very mother friendly. I felt I would get more help and better care at home, so I opted to leave and have a lower hospital bill.
We stayed 3 days, 2 nights after DS#1 was born. While the nurses were pushing me to leave, the OB kept suggesting I stay another night. Total mixed message.
I want out as soon as I can and was told 48 hours after surgery (so two nights) is minimum. That's all I stayed with DD#2 and DD#3 so FX it works that way with DS!!! I HATE staying in the hospital!!!

It's generally 4 nights unless there are complications (making you stay longer) or if you're healing well you can get out sooner. With my twins I stayed the full 4 nights. With my last delivery I left after 2 nights, my c/s was on a Monday and my OB and I agreed that I would leave Wednesday evening. Next time I'd like to leave after 1 night.

My miracle baby was born March 5 at 9:33am. He was 8 lbs 12.5 oz and 21.25 inches long!
I had my baby at noon on a Saturday and I was discharged at 9am on Monday. Less than 48 hours.
I was staying in the NICU with my son at an attached hospital - trying to make me go between hospitals was more of a hazard than discharging me. I scare people.
I went in for an induction on Monday night, had DD via c-section Tuesday afternoon, and was discharged Saturday morning with DD. I think mine is an unusual scenario though since DD was in NICU from Wed to Sat and I had a blood transfusion early Friday morning.
2 for me. I was ready to go after 1. I was up shopping on day 3.

Wow, now I know why my midwife asked if we had exited the hospital with a weapon in hand...
I left after 1 night, 28 hours, which I now know is pretty much unheard of. We got to the hospital shortly after 1pm, he was born at 3:16pm, and we left at about 7pm the next day.
I had planned a homebirth and had to transfer to the hospital after a good home labor because baby had flipped breech on the sly, so I was none to pleased to be in the hospital in the first place. I was mobile a few hours after surgery and bugged everyone who would listen to get me up, feed me more than clear liquid, and get the wires and tubes off me. I guess I planted the "I want to go home" bug in enough ears and the OB discharged me. I would have been tearing my hair out after 4 nights in the hospital.
The first time I was induced labored 21 hrs, pushed for 2, and ended up with c-section. I did get a bit of infection (fever etc.- no major complications) so had to stay three more days until that cleared up.
This time my water broke, labored from 6 a.m. till 9 (with yet again 2 hrs pushing), had c-section before 9:30 p.m.. I stayed that night, the next day and was discharged around lunch... so less than 48 hours. They gave me the option of staying one more night or until that night to make it 48 but I was ready. It is next to impossible to sleep in the hospital and I wanted home with my son before he went to his dads for Christmas break.
I think it depends on hospital policy, if you had any complications, how you feel, how baby is doing (if they aren't getting discharged yet they seem to keep ya a lil longer) etc.
