Planned C-Section - how long did you stay in hospital?

[FF821]

Hiya, just wondering how long people had to stay in hospital after a planned C section, totally understand that it's different for everyone's circumstances but just looking for some real life experiences - thanks xx

1 night but it was about 8pm the next night I got out I shld have stayed but I cldnt face another night in there. I went home with a catheter in as cldnt pee so had to go bk several days later.
With my first I had an emcs and a long stay post birth, I stayed 6 days and 5 nights so I just wanted home ASAP second time round.

48 hours for both ELCS and a very complicated PPH EMCS.

6 days. DT1 was in SCBU for 4 days so they kept me in till he was allowed on the ward. This was a while ago, they’re possibly a bit keener to get people out at the moment

4 nights - but I think this was because baby was jaundiced and may have needed treated and severely underweight from IUGR

24 hours.

I don’t remember with baby 1, but no more than 48 hours

26 hours with baby 2

Emergency section at 7am and discharged following day at about 4pm

Baby born at 2pm, home by 6pm the following day!

Much better than with my EMCS when I was in for two weeks!

5 days with emcs and 6 days with planned but I had complications.

Had 4 sections. Just one night for three of them but for my first I was in 5 days as she lost lots of weight ( from 5lb 13 to 5lb 1) and they were concerned.

My planned section (3rd baby) was 24hrs.
3 other sections I was in for days either because of difficult/ traumatic births or poorly babies.
The planned c section I played board games with my husband, went in to surgery, had baby, spent the night and left 24hrs after birth.

Last March I was in for my section at 10AM & out by 12 the following day.
I healed up very fast and was very lucky i was up and pacing around the bed as soon as they let me.

They put your shoes on! That was weird for me as I read as much as i could leading up too the section (breech baby) but i never once considered the bending aspect for pants and shoes

But i truely didnt rush anything, i was only minorly uncomfortable and when home it only hurt sitting up in bed for night feeds but otherwise I felt grand alot faster than my previous 2 natural births

Planned c section on nhs was in for 2 nights I’m booked in for another planned c section in June due to covid etc I will be requesting if all went to planned to be let out after 24 hours ... I will speak to high risk doctor on Monday so here’s hoping x

One night for the first three and four for the last one.

I’ve had three emcs, for different reasons and stays varying 2-8 nights. Whether you’re at home or in hospital, please rest as much as you can.

Unplanned section with first baby 3 nights, second section 2 nights, could have been discharged after 1 as baby was bottle fed.

Mine was breastfed FTM and I was discharged after 1 night, what has the choice of feeding got to do with how quickly you're discharged? X
