discharge from hospital?

[mandii]

Hey ladies, was reading through a few other forums and read something about discharging yourself from hospital after birth assuming everythings ok with LO and mummy.

Has anyone ever discharged themselves and if so how long after birth were you home? last time i was in the hospital for 16 hours after birth hoping to get out earlier this time.

i went in the night before i got induced with my birthing partners as i was told i was in labour (i was 1cm dilated) they were sent home at 1am as nothing was going to happen i never slept from 1am fri morn till my son was born at 23.13pm fri night, my family were sent home at 1am after birth babys dad was allowed in at 3am-5am at my request (i was petrified) i think i slept from 5.30am till 8am but that was it xx

My friend went to hospital at 4am, had baby 2 hours later and was home by 9am. It was her 2nd and was in a midwife led birthing centre so maybe that makes a difference.

 

[babyem]

I wouldnt discharge myself. They wouldnt keep you there if the didnt think it neccessary and I wont be taking any chances with my baby
