There are 3 types of C-Section and I had all 3.
The 1st was an emergency due to slow labour and I was in hospital 5 days
The 2nd was a crash section due to a ruptured placenta, I was in high dependancy but still only in from Friday til Tuesday
The 3rd was an elective section due to the complications of the previous pregnancy and I was only in 48 hours.
The quicker she is up and about the faster they will let her out.
Speaking from experience though I'd urge her to stay in and rest,
Make her enjoy being looked after for once.
It's major surgery she needs to rest
I found it hard to bond with my 1st but only because I was under general anaesthetic and I was asleep during her birth.
I 'd had a 15 hour labour and I'd had enough.
I'd felt like she wasn't my baby.
I lost the 2nd baby, and the 3rd I had no problems at all with bonding.

I've had 2 c-sections. I hear the norm is a 3 day stay in the hospital but I only stayed 48 hours. As far as bonding with the child...I had post partarn depression after I gave birth to my first son. I went to a doctor, got meds, and got better. Of course you can get post partarm if you have them naturally too, and most important...it depends on the woman and her body.

Congratulations!
I guess everyone is different but I had a C-Section with my son, with a spinal rather than being knocked out but was out of hospital around 5/6 days later, my son spent 3 weeks in hospital due to prematurity and we still got a very close bond instantly. I dont think a c-section has a lot of bearing on whether or not you will bond with your baby.
Sounds like she's lucky enough to have family to support her whilst she recovers, which she'll need. Hope she's back on her feet soon and everything goes well!

I stayed in for 2 nights. Would normally be 3, but the labour ward was very busy and I think they wanted the bed! I had a general anaethestic with my c-section as the epidural didn't work, so I didn't get to see the baby for an hour after he was born, but I don't think that affected the bonding at all.
Hope mother and baby are both OK.

I've had 4. Stayed in the hospital 3-4 days with all of them, even the emergency one. As long as there are no complications with mom, she will be going home in 3-4 days. I still bonded very well with my babies, I just didn't have them with me as much as I would have had I delivered vaginally. The most important thing for your sis to do is feel better herself as she is probably in pain right now. She can still breastfeed and spend as much time with her baby as she wants.

Just because you have a c-section, doesn't mean you don't bond. I breast fed my son as soon as they were finished with him, just like any vaginally born child. This really depends on WHY they did the c-section. If she has health issues, it will depend on how long it takes for those to be resolved. If not, she and the baby should be able to leave in 2-4 days. I stayed four days. My friend who had a uterine cyst stayed for 3 days.

Having a organic delivery they might desire to shop you for a minimum of 24 hours just to make helpful u an the baby is large yet u could be despatched abode b4 the baby i think of c section is like 2-4days,whether it relies upon on the wellness middle like if u have the baby like around 12 am they'll shop u till that night or somthin if u an the baby r doin large the baby can flow abode w/ u as long as that is 6ilbs or extra and that is respiration via itself and has the ultimate coloration and that i think they even deliver it abode if it doesnt eat solid luck i wish it is going properly:) i'm going to be doing that 2 to not some distance away

My first c-section was just like the one you describe and I went home 42 hours later (baby born 7pm Friday night, went home 1pm Sunday afternoon).
Second c-section was a repeat c-section with tubal ligation and I went home about 48 hours later (born Tuesday 8am, went home Thursday 8am).
I didn't have problems bonding with either baby.
The sooner that she gets up and starts moving around the easier things will be. If she's doing well getting up and around the doctor will be more inclined to release her "early" (i.e. in less than 72 hours after giving birth).

Congratulations on the new baby and hope they are all hope together soon

Hi, I had an em cs 11yr ago and had to stay in hospital for 5days. They wouldn't let me out until my bp had lowered. It was the hottest may on record, I was fuming and itching to get home so this was raising my bp! Eventually I managed to do a deal with them... They let me out under 48hr care of midwife. The minute I knew I was going home, I began to relax and my bp dropped. I did find it hard to bond with my son, I was out cold for the 1st hrs of his life and honestly couldn't watch a natural birth on tv without feeling I had missed out etc. Good luck to the mum and new baby :-)
