Nope I dont think its likely. I would not be up in the forum a day after I had a baby and my husband was not helping cause he was too busy with his friends

But you didn't kinda skip out the fact that you had had the baby? And post on here as if nothing happened?

I went in on friday the 11th nov. 2005 at about 8pm.
I got out on monday the 14th.
1st baby I went in on a... Wednesday morning and got out the following monday or tuesday (longer than usual because I was admitted due to my waters breaking at 36 weeks. They waited 24 hours for labour to start on it's own, and then induced me. I had to stay an extra night due to my baby needing the ultraviolet light thingy for jaundice)

over here in australia, uncomplicated births- 1st or otherwise, the standard hospital stay is two nights after the birth.
I had 3 nights with my second, because she was born 6 minutes after midnight so technically, the first night didn't count. I could've gone home, but opted to stay the 3rd night.
You can discharge yourself though, at anytime I think, unless, you know, they think there's problems or something. You have to sign a bunch of releases etc. And you still have to be cleared by an obstetrician before you are released.

On the surface 21 hours does not seem long enough to go into labour, have normal vaginal birth, be released from hospital, and back at your computer - especially for a first baby, where labour alone for up to 24 hours would be considered within the normal range.
Still, anything is possible- a "friend in law" of mine, who was a gym instructer- she was just visiting the gym, on maternity leave and all, just catching up with her friends- wham, went into labour, gave birth within something crazy like 45 minutes in the changerooms.
When help arrived, they just took her in for a good once over, and she was out later that evening. First baby. I'd say she discharged herself voluntarily though.

I was in labor 14 hours and 53 minutes. I can guarantee that I wasn't leaving the hospital before they made me go. I stayed for 2 1/2 days. I came back to post that he had been born and then I disappeared for a few days just to take it easy.


My sil had a ridiculously easy first labor but she still didn't get out of the hospital before two days. But eh, that's the us. I know where you're going with this. I don't really believe it either...
