I was ready to go that morning, but don't know if I would have been ready on day 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543792 Sat, 07 May 2016 21:11:58 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2543792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!

I had a scheduled c and went into labor a week before it was scheduled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543462 Fri, 06 May 2016 20:00:08 +0000 MamaBehr 2543462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 nights with my last. He was born LATE (10:36 pm and I was out of the OR after midnight) on a Wednesday and we were discharged early afternoon on a Saturday. My water had broken, so it was a planned RCS it just happened early. However, I wanted to stay a little longer because I knew the chaos that would ensue when I got home (he is my fourth!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543412 Fri, 06 May 2016 19:01:37 +0000 Mrs. Train 2543412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 nights with my twins 2 nights with my planned repeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543294 Fri, 06 May 2016 15:27:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2543294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for my 1st I was in the hospital 7 days total with induction then emergency C-section<br /> second, RCS was 2 nights :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543271 Fri, 06 May 2016 15:05:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2543271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two nights with my first, one with my second, and two with my third.</p> <p>One was difficult and I should have stayed an extra night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543270 Fri, 06 May 2016 15:02:22 +0000 erinbaderin 2543270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you recover well and your doctor is ok with it one night might not be impossible - I only stayed one night with my first C section (surgery in the morning, home 36 hours later). I had to stay a second night with my repeat c because I had internal bleeding and needed a transfusion and they wouldn't let me leave until my hemoglobin levels were going up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543222 Fri, 06 May 2016 14:05:37 +0000 MamaG 2543222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an earlier in the day delivery on my repeat and stayed for two nights. I was allowed three nights but wanted to go home after 2. Communicate with your OB upfront that these are your wishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543206 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:46:48 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2543206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 nights is the norm here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543196 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:39:51 +0000 tinyperson 2543196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 nights for my first, we'll see in two weeks for my second! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543194 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:38:12 +0000 gingerbebe 2543194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having mine next Sunday morning and my doctor thinks I should be able to go home by Tuesday evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543193 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:37:37 +0000 autumnlove 2543193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two nights for my unplanned and scheduled csections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543189 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:34:34 +0000 Canoli 2543189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had a sort of repeat c section and stayed for 3 nights.

I'd have liked an extra one as the hospital bed was easier to get in and out of, but the rules only allowed for two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-repeat-c#post-2543185 Fri, 06 May 2016 13:28:19 +0000 ShootingStar 2543185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...How long did you stay in the hospital? With my first I had an induction and an unplanned c-section at 10pm. I think we ended up staying a total of 4 nights, including that one, after birth. I'd like to cut the stay much shorter this time. I know I'll have a morning c-section and probably one night is cutting it too short. But is 2 nights realistic? </p>
