I had ava at 8.32am on Wednesday and didnt get let out until Thursday at 2pm in the afternoon!!!! I had heavy meconium so had to have pitocin and she had to be checked every hour for 24hours. I think if its a normal delivery, then you only get kept in 6hours after delivery x

Born at 00:26 and we were allowed to leave at 20:00 that day

number 2: im wondering do you stay in longer if its your first?
My BP skyrocketed, which is why i stayed in for as long as i did, they have a tendancy to send you home as soon as they can. My friend stayed in for 3days after her first because of her BP, and with her 2nd and 3rd she was out in less than 2hours after birth!!

number 3: what was the first few things you thought when you you finaly got home with your brand new baby?!
"Now what...??" It's very daunting!!

With my first I had him at 8 in the morning and I went home at 7pm. With my second I had him at 21.20 and I had to stay over night. They promised I'd be out before 12 because they wouldn't let me eldest on the ward and at 6pm I was still waiting to be discharged so I walked out and told them to post the discharge papers to my GP as I didn't have the time to wait any longer while she sat gossipping about moving house.

I was at my family reunion saturday and started feeling funny. I called my doctor and she said to come in and get checked, well all was fine I was having contractions but they werent strong enough to do anything so they sent me home. We got home around 12:30. My water broke a couple minutes after I got home. My mom went to change and I told her don't get to comfy, lol. I went back to the hospital and they confirmed my waters broke. At 8 in the morning I had not progressed so they induced me with pitocin. I had my LO at 11:43 pm on Sunday. I went home Tuesday evening around 5-6pm. I had to stay longer because it was so late when I gave birth to her and after birth, I kept bleeding. It was alot, I had to get a shot to control my bleeding.

When we got home I thought "now what do I do" lol. But now its so natural, I still get a little bit frustrated beause she cries and I dont know whats wrong, but I usually just cuddle her and shes fine.

I am wondering because I am so excited for when baby gets here and its exciting to hear other experiances

I went home after 40 hours, and that was my first. When I got home I was in shock! It was so surreal, I had a little baby to look after!

I was home within 3 hours for baby 1 and 3 and was only waiting with my second as they had a rush of labouring mums coming in and the midwife could not write my notes straight up. Think I was waiting about 5 hours in the end but it was the evening so we just watched the soaps in the home from home room whilst we were waiting then went home for a takeaway! I did not want to stay in hospital at all so nothing was going to keep me there! luckily I had straight forward deliveries so was able to get my own way. Good luck with your babyx
