Ladies serious question: how long do you typically stay in the hospital after giving birth?

3 days Max for normal and up to 1 week if C-section is or was in play and more if you developed a infection during delivery

I was induced on Thursday at 4pm, had my boy Friday at 7:21pm, was discharged Sunday morning. I had complications during labor and delivery so I was kept an extra night for observation. My hospital had a mandatory 24 hour wait period after baby is born. I also had a vaginal birth

I was in fir 3 days

About two days

With my 2nd, the baby was required to stay 36 hours, we stayed an extra 12 because 36 would have been after 8 pm and closer to 9.

I had high bp with my daughter and I only stayed for 2 days.

@karina_n_ryans_mommy, so it depends on the hospital and your vitals

Depends on the hospital. Mine is 24 hours with no complications.

It depends on how the birth went, and how the baby is doing. I had a c-section Saturday night, asked to go home Tuesday morning, discharged that afternoon. With a vaginal birth usually it's a day or two, no complications, and a c-section is usually 3-5 days, also with no complications.

With my last pregnancy I got admitted on a Monday around 11pm, gave birth on Tuesday at 10:58am, & was released Thursday morning around 12/1pm. I was not high risk or anything, & I had a vaginal birth.

@meg503, thank you

I had my son in Gainesville (dif city over an hr away from where I lived at the time) & they were filling out discharge orders for me the day after I had him. I had my daughter at a different, local hospital & they hold moms for a mandatory 48 hours..depends on your circumstances/hospital policies. I had both babies vaginally & was not a high risk pregnancy.

Yeah something like that i would think they would monitor for maybe an Day if that and you and baby wouldn't have to stay long. 👐🏻 crossed that's what happens for ya!

@meg503, weak cervix had to have a cerclage placed

Usually, at least here, it is 48hrs after birth for vaginal and 72hrs for CS

I think it would also depend on why your high risk... weather it's high blood pressure etc.

@meg503, so just around 2 days max

I was in the hospital for 9 days but also had a emergency csection and high blood pressure. My sister had her daughter and was out within 3 days

I'm not sure sweetie. I wasn't high risk with any of my children.. if I had to guess (I'm not an doctor nor nurse) but I think if everything is good with you and baby at delivery I don't see why they would keep you any longer.. maybe an extra day to monitor ...

@meg503, does being high risk affect that in anyway?

@boymama0908, was your birth vaginal? Or c section?

Depends... vaginal I think I was in an day in a half .. my csection I was in four days. If nothing goes wrong and mom and baby are healthy :)
