worrying about stay in hospital
hey ladies hope everyone ok and bumps are ok
just wondering if anyone else is actually worrying more about staying in hospital than actually going thru labour,
ive only got 1 day left and cant wait to actually be in labour but im worrying more about afterwards ,
i hate being in hospital , hate the atmosphere, the smell lol and just the feeling of being in a hospital and the thought of being left in hospital after had baby and actuall looking after a new baby is really worrying me, (
i know i wont be able to sleep in the hospital il just be awake looking at baby. im prob being silly. one of the reasons i want to avoid a C-SECTION if possible is because of the stay in hospital silly i know.
and was just wondering how long everyone had to stay in after having a baby,

I gave birth to Erin at 13:44 and we left the hospital at 16:00 the next day, so it wasnt too bad. This time i'm hoping to give birth and then leave a few hours later... (well that the plan)
If your labour was ok and baby is ok they will usually let you home, but just remember you will be exhausted and will need rest, also once you get home you wont get a minute to yourselves as all the visitors will descend upon you...
Good luck with everything. X
Katie, mummy to Erin 9mnths and 24+2 with bluebump.
thats my worst nightmare having to go in to be induced and then just waiting in the hospital , hopefully ull be able to go in later in the afternoon. i think my worry's come from when being little spent quite a lot of time in hospital ( same hospital as having baby) .
hopeing to go into labour naturally , stay at home for as long as i can , then have baby and be on my way home lol wishfull thinking , hope everything goes well for you tigerlily good luck wednesday

Best of luck xx
I have always hated hospitals and hate the thought of being on a ward full of people. I had an operation on my jaw a year ago (they broke and reset my jaw), i hated being in hospital so much that i refused morphine and lied about my pain scores just so i could go home sooner. I would rather be in agony at home than pain free in hospital.
if this wasnt first baby i would have def had home birth, would feel much more comfy at home, in own bed and have OH, Mum and Mum in law to help.

I feel exactly the same as you about hospitals. I was quite lucky when i had my son, he was born at 7.21pm and i left the hospital at 9am the next morning. So it wasnt so bad for me, although i cried my eyes out when they made my oh go home at 10pm lol. If your have a straight forward birth they will let you out as soon as you and baby have been checked over. x
