Gave birth at 6:19pm. Discharged on Sunday @8pm. </p> <p>Normally, it would be 11am on Sunday, but DS was in NICU and there was a 50/50 chance of him coming home with us. Since the postpartum rooms weren't occupied, the nurses were nice enough to allow us to hand around to get the verdict! They even supplied us dinner, but we just couldn't spend the night. Loved, loved, loved my nurses!!!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born/page/2#post-1659398 Tue, 27 May 2014 04:48:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 1659398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induction started at 6:30am Friday morning. T was born at 8:35 that night. </p> <p>We left Monday morning. So 14 hours before and 3 days afterwards.</p> <p>Funny I always thought id want to go home ASAP but when they offered to discharge me on Sunday I teared up and asked for one more night! The pain was still pretty bad from the c section and breastfeeding was a disaster. I totally felt ready on Monday though so that was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born/page/2#post-1659381 Tue, 27 May 2014 02:42:02 +0000 Cherrybee 1659381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before - 4 days (I had along induction)<br /> After - 2 days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born/page/2#post-1659239 Mon, 26 May 2014 21:57:55 +0000 luckypenny 1659239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 hours before baby was born- left 24 hours after baby was born (as soon as they would let me) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born/page/2#post-1659236 Mon, 26 May 2014 21:47:52 +0000 skipra 1659236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first started cervical ripening Wednesday morning, went home late afternoon, back at hospital Thursday morning for induction which turned into another full day of ripening and monitoring. Stayed overnight, started actual induction late Friday morning and DS was born early Friday evening. Total time in hospital before birth was way too long. Discharged on Sunday afternoon.<br /> With my second, arrived at the hospital on Thursday at 4:55 and DS arrived at 5:19. So about 25 minutes. Could've left Saturday morning but was waiting for DH to pick us up so we didn't leave until around noon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born/page/2#post-1659167 Mon, 26 May 2014 20:45:54 +0000 singingbee 1659167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a scheduled c section due to baby being breech.

I would have been fine leaving a day earlier, but they won't release the baby until they had completed all of the bloodwork. With our #1 having jaundice and nursing issues, I was happy to make sure #2 checked out ok and have lots of quiet snuggle time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-were-you-in-the-hospital-before-and-after-lo-was-born#post-1658726 Mon, 26 May 2014 15:53:57 +0000 hellocupcake 1658726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced Monday night 8pm, baby born Wednesday morning, left at 4pm Thursday.
