I had a c section and they kept me for two days. But my friend has a vaginal and they kept her for one, then my bestfriend had a vaginal and they kept her for two because her baby had jaundice really bad. It just depends

Depends on where you live and what hospital u birth at. In qld australia u can leave 6-8hrs after a normal uncomplicated birth.

It depends... My hospital is minimum 24 hours and you can stay 48 if you want (I'm going to, just to gain knowledge and help) but if you have a c-section I think it was 2-3 days! But it all depends on the hospital!

I stayed two days after my first, that was the birthing center's policy for first time mothers. This time, if we are lucky enough to have an equally straightforward delivery and healthy baby, we'll be able to go home the next day. If we don't have a home birth instead, that is.

Everyone n place is different its really up to your health and your baby's .. they do 24 hours to make sure your bleeding stays regular as well as your uterus is shrinking right they will come in and push on it to tell... I had to stay 2 nights my daughter was jaundice.
