C- Section question
I will be having a C-section, and was wondering what the average length of
stay in the hospital was. My insurance company told me that we have an "automatic" 4 day stay allowable for a c-sec. Do we really stay in that long? I had a friend who stayed in for a week, but she got an infection. -- Thanks, Rob & Gayle Huwe |

Section was Sunday afternoon at 1 PM. They wanted to discharge me Wed around 3, which meant hitting really bad rush hour traffic. We dawdled and left around 7PM. Recovery was going OK for me, but we were having trouble nursing so I appreciated the extra time to work with the hospital LC's (not that they were much help, ended up with a private LC a week later, which was much more successful).

C- Section question
I had a scheduled section on Monday at 7:30am and I was discharged on
Thursday at 11:00am. I was ready to leave on Wednesday so I could come home to sleep. Tracy Kyla Grace 8/18 "The Huwe Family" wrote in message y.com...

Do we really stay in that long? I had a friend who stayed in for a week, but she got an infection. I went in Sunday night/Monday morning at 2 a.m. (not a planned c/s, obviously), had the c/s at 9 a.m. Monday, and was discharged Thursday morning at around 10. I was climbing the walls by then. I definitely could have left a day (or two) earlier. Not that I felt great--I felt lousy in fact--but it wasn't anything that being in the hospital was going to fix. However, I had LOTS of help at home (DH, mom, sis) so I really didn't have to do anything except hold and feed DS. If I had had to go home and be primarily responsible for babycare/cooking/cleaning/laundry, I might not have been so eager to leave the hospital g. Lila EDD 10/24/03 |

I got to the hospital around 7am Wednesday morning, had the (unplanned) section about 11pm. Was discharged Sunday late morning. Around 10 that night I was wishing I was back in the hospital with lactation consultants on call. Someone said on mkb that your milk always comes in on a flood of tears, boy was that spot-on. There I was sobbing about how it wasn't coming and the baby was never going to nurse when I noticed the pillow I was clutching was sopping wet :*) -Liz |

C- Section question
in Italy the average lenght of stay is 5 days - c-section day excluded,
which means you go back home on the 6th day. actually it's not a long time, you will need a few days to recover physically before going home! :-) "The Huwe Family" ha scritto nel messaggio y.com...

All the hospital personnel was excellent (except for one neonatologist, but that's another story), and I LOVED the NICU nurses. I had a great LC, and I credit the long stay in the hospital for contributing to my speedy recovery.

C- Section question

stay in the hospital was. My insurance company told me that we have an "automatic" 4 day stay allowable for a c-sec. Do we really stay in that long? I had a friend who stayed in for a week, but she got an infection. If you are in the US, your insurance company is required to pay for 72 hours following the birth, minimum. I think a typical stay is about 3 days total, of which some hours are before the actual birth, but since you know you're having a section I guess you can minimize that. I was admitted in the early afternoon on a Monday. Doctors determined that a section was necessary at around 9 pm and baby born at 10:15 pm. We went home Thursday afternoon. They told me I could stay another night if I wanted to, but by that time I was feeling well enough to want to go home. I had a lot of help at home, though. If your DH has to go back to work quickly or your visiting relatives are going to behave like guests rather than be unpaid service providers, you might want to stay in the hospital as long as you can possibly manage. :-) OTOH, if you can't get a private room in your hospital or the nurses keep waking you up to take your temperature and pushing formula on you, you might want to get yourself out of there as fast as you can possibly manage.
