The number of hours or days for staying in a hospital mainly depends on the way of delivery. Your hospital stay is decided whether you have given birth vaginally or if you have a c-section in process. If there were any complications associated with your delivery, you might stay for a more extended period in the hospital.
Here are the factors listed below that will tell you what to expect depending on your situation and under what conditions your delivery took place.
What Happens After A Normal Vaginal Delivery
After you experienced a complicated delivery, you may be required or instructed to stay within the hospital premises for at least 24 to 48 hours. This period is necessary for your rest and also for the anaesthesia to wear off your body completely. During your post-delivery stay, the doctor and the healthcare staff will monitor you and your baby’s overall condition to ensure no problems are left to occur in the future.
If you want to be discharged after 24 hours of your delivery, you can talk to the doctor before going into labour. It’s alright if you choose not to stay in the hospital for many hours and want an early discharge from the clinic. However, the doctor will need to see whether you and the baby are in a condition to leave the hospital or not.
If you are discharged from the hospital in a few days, ensure that you regularly take your baby for follow-up visits to the doctor for at least in the delivery’s initial days. In case of any complications involved during your labour and birth, such as an infection or excessive blood loss, it is advised to stay under the care of your doctor for at least 48 hours.

In Case Of Any Birth, Complications Involved
Women who face delivery complications during childbirth and babies are admitted in intensive care units due to these complications. They are rarely asked to stay in the hospital for longer than the usual postpartum stay.
We understand that it may be upsetting to leave your baby at the hospital, most of the healthcare clinics won’t allow mothers to stay for a longer time, and health insurance also does not cover such claims. While you stay at home, it’s better to utilize it by preparing for the baby.
You can rest at home and even use breast pumps to regularly express your milk with the same frequency you would have done with your baby. Make regular visits to your child in the hospital and try to breastfeed him/her only if your baby has started taking feeds by mouth.
