Longest wait ever!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928616 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 09:27:27 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 928616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our midwives offer a 4-hour early discharge if everything goes well. Initially, I was super nervous about this, but the midwives come to the house on day 1, 3 and 5 after baby is born. So it should be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928386 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 05:48:55 +0000 anbanan15 928386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered just after midnight so there was a "loop hole" with insurance and we got to stay an "extra" day...I delivered 12:05 am on Sunday and we were discharged early Tuesday afternoon. If DS would have been delivered at 11:59 pm Saturday we were told we would have gone home Monday! I was induced starting early Saturday morning and had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928373 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 04:10:30 +0000 Pepper 928373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went home about 39 hours after he was born. He was born at 8:02 pm. We stayed overnight that night and the next, and we were discharged at 11 am. I had an uncomplicated vaginal birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928367 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 03:37:05 +0000 Penny Lane 928367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>checked in 11:30am, LO born at 12:14pm, went home 6pm the next day ( would have left at lunch time, but we decided to wait for the hearing screening instead of trying to set up a home visit :) I could have gone home a few hours after, but I wanted BFing help. they all ended up being useless, but that's another story :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928353 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 01:46:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 928353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 42 hours after birth. From the minute I got there to the minute I left, 50h.<br /> So, 2 days and then I left at noon on the 3rd day. My insurance covers 3 days, so my OB was, you can stay or go? And I was like, I'll stay!!! I was sore. But when the time ran out, I was ready to go home.<br /> I'll do the same for the next. I'll need a rest before going home and starting my crazy life :))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-928351 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 01:31:43 +0000 AprilFool 928351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered at 7am and went home at 4pm. I could of gone home earlier except I had a lot of stitches and they wanted to monitor me for a bit.</p> <p>It was awesome and the best thing about the birth centre. I got to go home and sleep in my own bed with my husband, who wouldn't of been able to stay if I had of had to of been admitted to the hospital. LO slept well that night so we all got a good sleep with no nurses checking on you etc. It was amazing to come home and be the 3 of us straight away. Highly recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927852 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 18:07:20 +0000 kml636 927852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a fever so they made me stay 48 hrs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927779 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:08:00 +0000 LazyLightning 927779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Delivered at 6:30 PM on a Tuesday, went home about noon on Thursday.

We stayed about 18 hours. With our second I had a c/s so I had to stay for 2 nights at the hospital :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927730 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 16:36:56 +0000 mrsbookworm 927730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a c section on Sun and went home Wed.

It was such a mind trip. :sad: The worst was when a nurse came into my room and cheerfully announces "I'm here to do the hearing test for your baby!" and I was like, "My baby's in the NICU". Sigh. But all is well now. She's home, happy, and totally chunked out. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927411 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:57:31 +0000 Honeybee 927411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went home about 36 hours after having DD; we had a nurse who refused to complete all the checks we needed in order to discharge, so we had to wait an extra day until we could get everything straightened out. With DS we were there about 60 hours because of some complications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927286 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:12:19 +0000 Rescuemom10 927286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One week. We had a few complications and LO and I both had to stay longer for IV Antiobiotics and to be monitored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927282 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:11:35 +0000 bisous 927282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born at 3 on a Sunday and I left at around 1 on Tuesday. Felt like the longest two days ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-927260 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:05:11 +0000 anewme 927260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my 2nd, I gave birth about 1 in the morning.<br /> Stayed that night and the next night then had to wait for the ped to clear the babies circumcision which he was having an issue with controlling the bleeding. We didn't get officially discharged until about 6pm. It was killer! I'm one of those that luckily felt fine right after birth so I was itching to go home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-926422 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:11:18 +0000 deerylou 926422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our birth center recommends 2 days post-birth for a vaginal delivery, and up to eight after a c-section. We will likely be staying the maximum amount of time we can - the place is like a resort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home/page/2#post-926420 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:11:02 +0000 mrskc 926420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 40 hours so almost two days. I gave birth at 7 pm and ended up staying 2 nights b/c I needed more help with getting started with BFing. I just didn't feel comfortable enough with BFing to go home after 24 hours. The nurses helped me get him latched every time. Next time I would just like to stay just one night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home#post-926417 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:10:15 +0000 DillonLion 926417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered at 9 AM on a Tuesday...and checked Thursday mid-morning. </p> <p>I had to be monitored for 12 hours after birth because of my massive blood loss, so I didn't even get moved to my post-partum room until late Tuesday night. Then we stayed Tuesday night and Wednesday night in the post partum room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home#post-926400 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:04:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 926400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gave birth on a Tuesday, went home on Thursday the first time around.

We stayed overnight. In hindsight, i should have stayed another night (encouraged by my OB) but i just wanted to go home.

I was offered discharge 24hrs post birth but I wasn't leaving the hospital without her so we stayed the extra night so we could all leave together.<br /> total was about 53hrs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home#post-926066 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:46:57 +0000 MrsRoo 926066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had LO at 9:47 am on Wednesday and left Thuesday afternoon. The nurses were so surprised that I wanted to leave, they all thought I'd be staying through Friday. There was no need, but I did leave the hospital in my pjs instead of putting on clothes (yoga pants) since I was so tired. The nurses were more annoying than helpful, so I wanted to get out of there and be in my own home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home#post-926015 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:37:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 926015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 48 hrs after I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hoursdays-after-giving-birth-did-you-go-home#post-925996 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:32:34 +0000 sslm 925996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 hours!
