With my son i had him 230am saturday morning and home first thing monday morning...but with my daughter i stayed a few extra days to recover a bit more before coming home as it is a bit harder when you have another child. I had her on tuesday arvo and came home friday morning. The longer stay helped a bit but not much still needed help when i got home as you need to be more active when you get home especially with a toddler running around. So i think if you are feeling good 3 days will be plenty of hospital time
