2 days with my last baby

We were discharged within 12 hours x

I had my boy emergency section at 4:34am and was home 8pm the next night, i would of been home earlier but we were waiting for discharge papers for a few hours x

With my first I was In for 4 days

I was in for 3 1/2 days delivery after because I’d had a haemorrhage after the birth, and also had GD

I've been told overnight this time but first time was 3 nights. I think that was more down to us struggling to bf and her needing an extra scan as she has a heart defect

Supposed to be 12 hours but had some "complications" with baby so had to stay for monitering duento suspected infection x

24 hours, babies sugar levels were just checked after the first 2 feeds

C section so 3 nights even though they said I could go home after 2 nights

48 hours after c section x

24hrs as I had gestational diabetes so they needed to check babies sugar levels after birth xx

I had gestational diabetes in both pregnancies and had a c section in both- the first an emergency and the second elective. My first son was born at 5:26pm on the Saturday and I was home by lunchtime on the Sunday. I had my second wee boy 3 weeks ago at 5:43pm on the Thursday and they made me stay in the full 24 hours this time so didn’t get out until about 6pm on the Friday evening.

5 days xx

My boys sugars were low so he needed to be tube fed x

I was in three days but my gd baby was 5 weeks 😭 rare complication though xxx

1 night, 2 days as she wasn’t breathing properly so they needed to do checks to figure out what it was .
