I had mine on Tuesday just after 5pm and was home just after lunch on the Friday, so thats about 2.5 days. TBH I just relieved to be going home, felt really sore but so ready to just get into my own surroundings. They did ask if I felt ready, I'm sure they would have kept me in if I'd said I wasn't ready. I had the midwives visit at home daily for the first few days, and I was given advice on what to do, how to check the dressing, and to come back in or call at any time if I had questions or felt concerned.
