When You Gave Birth?
Posted: 01-01-07 15:53pm

How long did you stay in hospital?
Were there any special circumstances or complications that lead to the length of your stay?

{for the purpose of this poll a day means a full 24 hours.
So 8pm -8pm would be a day as would 9am-9am}

for ladies with more than 1 baby answer on your most recent.

I stayed in the hospital for 4 days because of the c-section. I could have went home after 3 days, but I wasn't ready to be walking up stairs all day.

My son was born at 11:30am on the sunday morning and I went home at about 3pm the following day - so just over 24 hours. No complications. The nurses would have liked me to stay another night I think because I had a very very sore throat from screaming and the gas and air and could hardly eat or drink but I wanted to be at home.

So would you say 21 hours and 50 minutes away from the forum was too short a time away to have your first baby? Rolling Eyes

Even after I got home and was *dying* to come here and post pics I didn't hop on the computer right away.

I think I know where you're going with this...

If it's just a question then I would say it's possible, labours vary in length I just know that personally I won't come on here for atleast 2 days afterwards so I can relax a bit

What if you were away from the forums for 21 hours having your baby and never mentioned it when you came back?

Am I on the right track?

I voted 3-4 days, but that was with .Brian. With .Jordan the nurse wanted me out early to make room for others', so I went home after 2 days. Bad mistake! I had c-sections with both.

I'm so confused!

Wink

well you know, seeing as how I haven't given birth, I wondered how long was reasonable to be off the forums to do just that.

I mean we're missing a few people (zany, claudia, to name 2) and I think it's reasonable that they are away spending time with their kids.

And a lot of you are back but were away for a few days, having baby and getting settled - that's reasonable.

So is less than 24 hours away from the forum reasonable too?
