If you gave birth naturally (not via c-section) and there were no complications at the birth, you and the baby are fine, than you can most likely leave 24 hours after you gave birth at the earliest. But honestly giving birth is hard work. If you can stay the three days, take it. Get your rest and recuperate so you feel better when you get home and will feel better able to take care of your baby.
Congrats!!!

Most hospitals will give you the option to leave 24 hours after giving birth, at least if it's vaginal, as long as you and your baby seem healthy and don't require any extra tests. For cecarian I guess I'm not sure, but I know most insurances will let you stay 3-4 days and because of the surgery I guess I would assume the clinic would want to keep you most of that time.

Lucky for you that the hospital only keeps a normal delivery for less than 24 hours. YOU WILL WANT TO STAY LONGER IF YOUR KEEPING YOUR baby that is. As for work, the soonest you can go back to work is 4 wks. I did that, and lifted something about 20 lbs and fractured 3 of my ribs(Very painful).And I could hardly breath too, and had a new born baby girl at home too, it was hard, be careful, because nurses and doctors don't tell you this stuff. Remember, pregnancy changes your body in a lot of ways, and after the baby is born, everything (your body) needs time to back together again.

The earliest you can leave the hospital with a vaginal delivery is 24 hrs unless complications keeps you. If you do c-sec. then I am not sure. They just need to make sure that you are in the condition to leave. I would suggest talking to you Ob/Gyn about the factors. I hope that helps and good luck!

It really just depends on how you and the baby are doing. Generally 48 hours after giving birth (the baby usually has to have his/her 48 hour test before they will discharge him/her) If you have a c-section, and you haven't uhm... been up and doing things they might want to keep you for an additional 12 or 24 hours. Soo.... hope this gave you a little insight...
Congrats, Good Luck && God Bless

If you deliver naturally 2 days, after a c-section 4 days. But if you have some complications it could be longer. If you don't want to give birth in a hospital why not look into a midwife, it's still not to late.

it all depends on how you and your baby are after labor. I've heard that it could be within hours of giving birth although I've never met anybody that stayed there for less than a day or two. I myself stayed at the hospital for 3 days. the doctor is the one that's going to decide how long your going to stay.

If all goes well with the delivery and the baby is fine you can usually leave the next day...some hospitals will let you go within 8 hours...that is of course for a vaginal delivery.

If no complications arise, as earlier as 1-2 days. granted that takes work from you to, you need to get up and walk as soon after birth as possible. From a nursing student

24 hours. However, if your hospital has a check out time - say 11am and you deliver at 12 noon the day before - you won't make your 24 hours by the check out deadline - therefore, you'd have to stay an extra day. If you have a C-Section, you will have to stay an extra day.
