how long do you usually stay in hospital for after giving birth??
xxx

for a normal birth anywhere from 2 to 3 days
for a c section about 5 days
it might be different for every country tho

i agree with cupcake although i was home the day after

i know that where i live u can discharge yourself after 24 hrs but they dont recommend it

i didnt disharge myself i was let home

Here it's 48-72 hours for natural and 4-5 days for a C-Section. I am going to try my darndest to come home early if I have a natural delivery. I HATE hospitals

my midwife told me if all goes well you go home 6 hours after the birth.
it may be different for other places though.

My SIL was allowed home 6 hours after the birth as there were no complications.

We are allowed to request a 6 hour stay so long as there are no complications. If you do this though you have to take the baby up the next day to see the paediatriction. If you have a normal birth havent opted for 6 hours then its usually 24-48 hours providing baby is keeping there own temp up and you have done a poo lol

I was allowed home as soon as the dr had done all the checks. As Ryan was born at night, these were done the following day, so I had to stay for the night and had my dinner before being let home. x
