New mommies..hospital stay?

Usually the doctor will keep you 48hrs. Depending on the time of day you deliver and how long labor is, you may be there 72hrs.

If you have a son who is circumcised, your doctor may want you to wait so long after the procedure before taking him home. In general, most doctors prefer the baby be 24hrs old before leaving the hospital so that they can complete the needed newborn screening tests and check blood levels for glucose and PKU testing.

I've had five healthy vaginal births and if I say had a baby on Sunday morning, I would usually leave by Tuesday or early Wednesday. I always stayed as long as I could and asked as many questions I could ask. I even had an appt with a lactation consultant within the hospital and she was the sweetest lady. She really helped me with so many questions I need answered. Hope this helps. :) Don't rush home if you aren't ready.

Depending on what time of day you have the baby really has a lot of weight on how long you stay. If you gave birth late at night then you'll probably stay for about 36 hours, Since they're not going to release you in the middle of the night. I had my son via c-section at 11:15 at night, we stayed that first night (obviously), the whole next day and night, then were released the next morning, so roughly 36 hours.

I went in Saturday morning in labor, had my son at 3:00 in the afternoon. We stayed Sunday and checked out Monday evening. I had a normal vaginal birth, no complications. I went to an excellent hospital and was happy I got to stay so long. But check with your hospital (they should be able to give you an estimate) Good luck!

I gave birth at 8:45 pm and the next day left the hospital at 5:00 p.m. So I almost stayed for 24 hours... but not quite.

i hope everyone knows that there is an insurance policy rule that states 48/72= 48 for vaginal 72 for c -section. Is the max that insurance pays for non complicated deliveries. Thats why no one has stayed over 48hours with vaginal so far. Unless something goes wrong, they will not keep you extra b/c it will not be covered and you will have to pay for it.

stay. i such as you to stay, CareBears have an fairly effective azzes. do no longer be attentive to if i'm a perv or no longer. yet i like CareBear butts. yet you're additionally a solid questioner and answerer, humorous and function wonderful avatar. besides the fact which you would be able to become a guy contained in the basement. or a woman in an place of work cubicle. Edit: "The an" is a appropriate grammar, yet I wronged it.

Me and my sister both just had a baby a few weeks apart. She got to go home the next day so did my friend, i had complications so they kept me a week, that sucked so some of you out there shouldnt complain about two days it gets worse for some people....

If this is your first baby they may want you to stay 48 hours. They'll want to show you how to change your babys diaper, feed them, and bath them. If you've had other children then you don't need all this info repeated and you can go home in 24 hours.

I stayed for 2 nights then I couldnt take it anymore, the constant interruptions and not being able to sleep because I couldn't stop staring at my baby. I wanted to be with my husband so I discharged.
