Does the hospital keep people longer than two days after they have their babies now?🤔some of my friends had their babies…

In NY they don't it depends I was home in 24hrs but I'm am group b positive with this pregnancy so they will keep me for at least three per to the dr

It depends on if they have a reason to keep you for longer. With my oldest I was in the hospital for four days but with my second I was in for two.

I was in the hospital for 5 long days after my c-section with my 1st.

@mommyofaqueen These days they seem to get you in and out, like the day after you give birth unless complications. I was there 2 days before labor even started (Friday night) due too pre e; had him Monday night, released Wednesday afternoon. I was good with that

@mommyofaqueen, i had severe anemia though i lost alot of blood in surgery and they had issues getting it back up to even let me go home, if your pregnancy is healthy im sure you’ll be fine if you need to have one, im hoping things go better this time around

@damnkmar, That’s exactly why I’m scared to have a C-Section

i had a c section and i had to have a blood transfusions after surgery and my blood for some reason wasnt coming back up i stayed for 3 days they told me if my blood and iron didnt come back up after the 3rd day they were gonna discharge baby and keep me🤦🏻‍♀️

I couldn’t imagine being there that long. 24 hours after baby born I’m out!!

My sister in law just had her baby 2 weeks ago and stayed 3 days!

Everything was completely normal too.

@princessrose, My son wouldn’t even open his mouth he would turn his head I felt so bad lol

@mommyofaqueen, I have flat nipples, who knew 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess I wasn’t comparing and thought mine were normal. Lol. She would latch but not suck. So I had to pump religiously to get anything going.

@princessrose, That’s how my first was he literally would not take my breast lol

@baby04ever, I’m high risk and thankfully I only had to stay 48 hrs

@mommyofaqueen, I was nervous since it was our first time. And breast feeding wasn’t working like I wanted to so she would cry until like 5 am and we would give in and let her go to the nursery. I kept thinking we won’t have these nurses at home, but it was sooo much better being at home and comfortable. Your attitude about it would be the same way I would be if I had another baby.

I was in Monday to Thursday

It depends like everyone said. Around here vaginal birth 3 days. C-section 4-5 days. It all depends on compilations if there is any as well. My friend was in there for a about 1 weeks. She was 3 days in labor then they kept her for 5 days after her c section

This depends on your ob group practice and if you’re high risk or not and insurance policy. With my last pregnancy I was advised to stay for 72 hours but left at 48 hours. Due to part of insurance policy they required moms to stay 72 hours in hospital and if you left before that then you’d have to see a nurse at home. In my case I was seen on the third day at home because I left before 72 hours. As long as there aren’t any complications between momma and baby post delivery then you should leave when you want, however if your insurance policy has a condition like my former policy then you can stay for that duration.

@princessrose, I never wanted to stay in the hospital after I was told my kids and I were fine I was like can we go now?😂😂

I was there for 2 days (not including the two days in labor and delivery) but the pediatrician and doctors said if they couldn’t get stuff done by the time rush hour hits, since my hospital was downtown, they were going to let me stay an extra day if I wanted to. Lol

Oh ok because I’ve always stayed two days so I was a little confused

Depends on how the baby was born & the recovery. I left the hospital about 34 hours after I had my baby.

Not usually. But some hospitals will let you stay longer. Sometimes they want to keep you if baby isn't passing newborn tests or mom is sick after birth.
