Leaving the hospital

They gave me an option for a wheelchair or to walk

That walk to the car hurt!

Girl I was in the hospital for a week. I could barely walk. Induction was hell

What hospital? My sister in law had her baby recently too.
The midwives actually told her, "We're here to cause you pain."

My hospital told me that I have to sit in a wheelchair and that they have to bring me down because they have to check that we have a carseat and its installed properly and that we have reliable transportation home. So they wheeled me down when it was time to go home and helped me get in the car

I was also in the hospital for a week cuz my blood pressure was not being a team player. By the time they released me I wanted to run to the car but they made me wait for a chair 🙃 they said it was a legal issue, like it was not optional if I recall correctly

Yes, after all 3 of my csections I was wheeled out by a nurse. They usually told my husband to bring the car as close as he could get it.

I was the same as Hannah. I think it also depends on how far the labor/delivery/recovery rooms are to the pick up area. Mine was a pretty long distance to cover.

Yes. But idk if it counts bc I was never on the L&D floor. I was triaged then straight to OR for emergency c section for severe preeclampsia, then put on Subacute ICU, hospitalized for like a week bc I was so unstable.
(fyi I accidentally voted no bc baby squirming 😖)

Immediately after giving birth? Wtffff
This was my first pregnancy and they had me stay for a whole day. They said I could stay longer if I needed to.

OP here - so my hospital actually told my husband to go move the car and then when he left they then told ME to grab the baby and walk her out. That’s when I put my foot down and said I’d prefer to wait
This is 30 hours after giving birth??
