Q for those who've had a cesarean with no complications

Had a section Sunday 5.30pm, was home Tuesday lunchtime. They were happy to discharge us on Monday afternoon but I wanted to stay in 1 extra night x
With my first I had my baby at 12:30 in the afternoon and left the following afternoon at 2 or 3pm. When I spoke to my midwife she said it should be the same, but if you have any issues with pain or feeding they’re happy for you to stay another night x
I had a C section at St James Leeds on 16th Dec. Was discharged 4 days later. Had a baby on Nicu so think my pain was worse cause I didn’t have the oxytocin bubble so stayed for 4 days as I was still on the hard stuff on day 4!
Thanks everyone, that's reassuring that a second night should be an option if I feel like I need it! x
I had mine Saturday and was told I’d be out Sunday but was home Monday (2 nights) as obv is dependant on bloods etc. x
I had a C-section under general anaesthetic on a Monday morning and went home Tuesday evening x
Both sections had no complications. I had 2 nights for both which was perfect, got time to rest and recover, to shower, to get breastfeeding help and generally bond. It was actually nice to have one to one time with baby the same as baby 1 got as my toddler stayed with her grandma.
