  • I went in sunday morning at 8 am and tuesday was discharged at 5pm paid up till midnight tho.. Thats vaginal
  • Vag 2 days
    Csec 3-5 days
  • I think vaginal is 2 days and c section is 3 unless you have complications.
  • @Mgrose..your in for a treat! It was 11 years since I brought a newborn home. I am loving it this time around. Idk I have more patience now in my latter 30's and even tho i'm a single mom I feel blessed!
  • Yeah depending on your hospital and even insurance its like a day and a half to 2 days for no complication vaginal. It can be shorter if things go quick and very well.
  • Normally 2 for vag. And 3/4 csection. I was out in 2 for my csection though.
  • @Jamie77 that's awesome I'm gonna be 33 in December so I'm kinda up there in age too lol j/k.....glad u are enjoying your new baby.....I can't wait!!

    @everyone else thank you so much I just wanted to make sure I was prepared October is only 10 weeks away thank goodness lol
  • Vaginal usually just 2 days but csection I stayed 4 days...but it really depends on the doc.
  • If things go smooth w a vag birth they will most likely try to get u to go home the next day but by law they have to let u stay 48 hours. With my first i spent a week in the hospital because i had major complications, w my second it was quick and easy i went home next day. I had lots of help tho. W my last one we had just moved 1200 miles from family and i was scared to go home w a newborn, 18 month old and 4yr old so i stayed as long as i could...lol!
  • I had a c-section at 3:57pm on a thursday, was discharged at 10:30am on saturday.
