Did you need to stay in hospital after baby?

I do think it's different I have noticed you are in the states . You can't really choose how many days to stay in over here & most people I know are doing the school run within hours of having giving birth if all was normal. I have just today found out I am under consultant led care so that means I will be on a consultant ward and not a midwife one which is good as it means more monitoring throughout the labour and pregnancy. I just aren't sure on how long I will need to stay :/
I hope all works out for you and wish you the best of luck. Everything will be okay just don’t stress bout it too much ❤️
I don't know why I am so anxious this time. I was super chilled when younger haha
Hi, I also have epilepsy, and had my first child 3 years ago and had to stay for a few days after birth but I think that may have been due to me being induced and having complications during my labour. I had my second in December, was a very quick labour only just made it to the hospital in time! But everything went smoothly and I gave birth at 9am and went home by 5pm. So I think it may depend also on how your labour goes and if there’s any other complications they may need to keep you in for, not just the epilepsy x
Hey Sinead! Hope you’re well. I also have epilepsy and I was 20 when I had my first and I had to stay 3 days. I don’t really think it has to do with being epileptic or not. I see many moms have a three day stay at the hospital after giving birth. But especially since having epilepsy, I think you should stay just to be on the safe side. I wish you the very best! 💜💜💜
