How long?

[Bundle of joy]

So I'm having a c section done end of January and was wondering how long was you in hospital for afterwords?

For both of my c-section I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days, 3 the longest. It's based on your recovery some women are in their for 5 days..

Really hope I have a quick recovery.... I'm hoping 3 days as a maximum

I had one last Sunday and was out of hospital on the Wednesday.

It all depends on how you cope; I had a suspected infection and probably would have had to stay longer but they swapped my IV antibiotics for tablets that I was then sent home with and anti blood clotting injections for my stomach xx

I stayed 1 night in the hospital I had my section and could have gone home at that point but decided to spend 3 more nights in a local MLU to get help establishing breastfeeding. I probably would have managed at home with plenty of support with only one night in hospital.

I was in for five days, but only because LO developed jaundice and wasn't weeing. If he had been well we'd have been home in three days.

2 days I was ready to go home lol It was my choice for getting out that early usually its 3 days

I was in for 2 nights x Good luck! its not as bad as you think so try not too worry! x

4 days/3 nights. I needed the hospital bed, no way I would have coped at home sooner than that.

 

[mom of 1 or 2]

4 days for me. No complications at all, but they required it at my hospital. I was ready to get out of there by day 3.

With my first I was sent home the next day and I really struggled but it being my first I didn't know any better. I have had friends recently say to me that saw me straight after I was out of hospital that I looked awful and they were really worried about me and could believe they had sent me home so early.

I have just had my second and we stayed in a week but that was because baby needed antibiotics, but I would say after 3 nights I felt really well recovered and ready to go home. One thing I will say about being in hospital longer second time round is i recovered much quicker because you can't do anything in hospital but rest whereas if you are at home you would be tempted to do housework and push yourself more.

I was in hospital 28 hours xx

Just over 24 hrs! Went in Wed morning and went home Thu afternoon. I was medically fit for discharge and desperate to go home, but in hindsight wish I'd stayed in another night or so just to relax and get myself a bit fitter x

About 3 days. Went in to be induced 7/11, Csection happened the morning of 7/12, was discharged around 11 am on 7/15.

My Section was on a Friday night and I went home Monday morning. I was ready to go home Sunday, though!

 

[kitty2385]

Had her on Thursday afternoon and was at home by Saturday, even though they had told me to expect to be in for 5 days! So I was chuffed to be allowed home!

Only stayed one night but wished I had stayed one more. Having twins this time so imagine it will be three days min to establish BFing if they are in SCBU. Elective csection scheduled for 35 w + 6 days. Really hate to be away from my little girl that long as she is only 17 months and will only go to sleep with mummy. afraid I will be stressed being separated from her!!

I was in for 2 nights (night of the section and 1 night after). I was chomping at the bit to get home and start being a little family. I felt so much better when I got home as I could relax properly
