The hospital I stayed at Day 1 was if you had your bub in the morning before midday. If it was after midday, then that was day 0 and day 1 was the next day.
I stayed 7 days after my c/s. Was good to go after 5 but I wanted to lap up the luxury :)
when I went to my antenatal (sp?) classes, the midwife advised that no matter what time you had baby it was day 1.
I had my baby on a wednesday (day 1) and was to stay for 5 days and discharged on Sunday. I was at Nth West Private in Everton Park, Brisbane.
But it seems that some hospitals have different rules, so may pay to check with them.
I went home on day three,but the hospital did recommend staying for five days if it was your first c-section,but I asked my Doctor to let me home as I also hate hospitals,but had help waiting for me at home,Dh and mother in law!.........:rolleyes:
I had the c/s tuesday arvo/evening and was home friday arvo, though I reckon I could have gone home on thursday I had some bleeding during surgery and Jazz had jaundice that they wanted to watch. It depends on how you are feeling too, I was itching to get home but they said that 4-5 days was average. Had midwives visit us at home too. I had Shel home as well, I would have stayed as long as possible if I didn't have Shel home.
Oh and Jazz was born 5.16pm, and was counted as day 0, the next day was day one, so we left on day 3.
one week
4 days
48 hours
with my 1st son i had him on monday and left thursday morning so was in 3 days, I dont think they count the thursday as a day as discharged in the morning
with my second son he was born on a wednesday and i left friday night.
I think if you are feeling ok and bubs is feeding well 3 days is fine. Just remember to take your pain releif ontime when you get home and not to do too much
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.:pray:
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 ) :dance:
so I just like to comment i had a very good experience with my c-section all thanxs to my obs !
