stay in hospital

[Deejoy17]

I was told if bub was born before 12pm it`s classed as day 1, if born after 12pm it`s classed as 0 day, I`m in NSW.

I stayed in hospital for 1 week, just because that`s the length of stay they expected me to stay, they said I could have stayed longer if I liked.

At my hospital if bub is born between 12am and 11.59am thats day 0. If born 12pm (so lunchtime) and 11.59pm thats day 1.

They also ask you to stay 5 days, but allow you to leave after 3 days.

Ive not had a c/s but thats what ive been told.

DS was born around 9amish I think, and the classed it as day 1.
Hospital policy was a minimum 5 days (so they said) they preferred 7 days.
I had trouble keeping food down on day 3, so had to stay until day 5.

I was in for 5 days after c/s with our little fella... am hoping to have a 5 day stay again this time, because i will really need the rest!!! (and i even like hospital food... anything, as long as i don't have to cook!) .

hello everyone.
Just a quick update from my first posting of my question.

I finally went in on wednesday (22nd) to have my c-section. Turns out if i am admitted before 10am or 12 pm forgot which one ( which i did ) that was one day. anything after that is 0 day.

But in terms of how i went, i was great. By thurs when they removed all my tubes and i got up with some help from the nurses and nice rejunventing shower i was really well and relax. surprisingly the pain factor what close to nothing !!
I feel my nipple hurts more now from the breastfeeding then from the wound.
I felt so well thurs night i was requesting to leave already.
however my obs said Sat is the earliest, and by the next day friday when he came back to check the wound, he allow me home ( i think he couldn't put up with my whinging of being bored )
so I just like to comment i had a very good experience with my c-section all thanxs to my obs !
