Normal vaginal delivery
How long are you in the hospital...
Is it a total of 48 hours or is it 48 hours from the time the baby's born. Can you stay a few hours longer if you need to?
My DH decided to renovate our bathroom and the guys have to come on Tuesday to put the tub in... I'm being induced Sunday - is there a chance I'd be home Tuesday morning? I'd prefer to keep the baby away until the work is done. DH will also have to be at the house while the work is going on which stinks!

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
Hah, I was in one day and two nights, less than 48 hours, though since DS was born before 11 pm, that counted as a day (never mind that they didn't get me to my room until after 12).
I was back home in the blink of an eye. Really not enough time IMO.

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
It depends on when you have the baby. I was induced and being that I had my baby after midnight, I was kept an additional day (this was for my first child).
With my second, also an induction, I was home the next day. (they have to keep the baby for a mandatory 24 hour period, so even though my OB had already released me, the baby still had to be kept for the 24 hours (by law).

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
If you have the baby Sunday you will be coming home Tuesday. I was discharged and out the door by 11am...but I could have stalled a bit and not of gone home until later in the afternoon.
There werent a lot of babies born when my son was and we are at the beginning of the alphabet which is how the nursery prepared the babies that were going home..
When I had my twins I was discharged and they had to stay. So even though I was discharged I stayed in the room until late in the evening.

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
It totally depends on when you give birth, how busy the hospital is and whether you had any complications
DS#1 born Wed 2am and I was released by Thurs at noon but they let me stay in the room until 6pm when DH got off of work.
DS#2 born Mon 5pm and I was released by Wed at noon

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
I was in and out quickly (my choice). I had Ella at 12:59am Sunday morning, so they weren't going to count Sat night, but I had no desire to stay any longer so I left Monday afternoon, though I had the option to stay until Tuesday.
You never know how long it will take the baby to be born - even though you're being induced on Sunday, it may be Monday before he/she is here.

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
I went in on Tuesday night but had the baby Wednesday morning, so I was supposed to go home on Friday. They kept my baby so I refused to leave, but otherwise it would have been 48 hours from birth.

Me too! I got there at 6:30pm on Thurs and left by 2 on Sat. I didnt even get into my room until around 2 on Friday so i was in my room less than 24 hours. I had such a terrible hospital experience though so you cant go by me.
If you are being induced your labor will probably take a little while. Are you going in Sunday night for Cervidil? then you probably wouldnt have the baby until some time on Monday and you would be out on Wed. We were allowed to leave any time on Saturday, we could have stayed the whole day, but we just wanted to get out of there.

Re: Normal vaginal delivery
I delivered both times at Winthrop
With DS he was born at 5:02am on Thursday and we were leaving the hospital around 2pm on Saturday.
With DD, she was born at 12:22pm on Monday and we were leaving the hospital around noon on Wed.
They didn't rush me to leave. With DS I had to wait for my Dr. come and discharge me and since it was the day before easter it was a little late. With DD, her and I were discharged early but we didn't rush to leave.
