I just had to get out of there so we left as soon as possible. As far as I'm aware day 3 is the soonest you can leave a public hospital after a c/s and that's what I did. I must admit though that I got home & cried saying I shoudn't be home but I didn't want to be at the hospital & I didn't belong anywhere!! I think that's when baby blues hit me!! But after a nice rest in my own bed I felt much better.
