I did too! Had my baby at about 9:30am and was discharged 6pm the next day, but they did want to keep me in another day as our baby wasn’t latching very well and wanted to make sure feeding was established (but we agreed a feeding plan instead). I think they try to get you out within 24 hours unless there’s a reason to keep you in longer. Had a great experience with my elective c section there though ☺️
I had a c-section at stepping hill, we were discharged after 24 hours. We did have to chase them up about it though as they were so busy so I don’t think they would of got around to discharging us if we didn’t repeatedly ask them too x
Yes I did on 27th March, surgery started at 9am and I was discharged at 6pm on 28th. I had to ask around 10 times though and it was purely because they were busy that they hadn't and i ended up advising them that If that if it got past 5pm I was going to self discharge (took me saying this for them to start the paperwork ) 🫠
I had a similar experience to the ladies above. Was discharged the next day but I had to chase the staff to get the discharge notes. It wasn't necessarily bad because staff were around if you needed help but if you were feeling fine and ready to go then it was a bit frustrating! Good luck! I hope everything goes well for you. X
@Charly did Stepping Hill provide baby nappies and formula or should I take our own, my mil said the hospital provides them when you are in there
No, you'll need to bring your own.
I did… they were great! I’d have been out the following day but my daughter was in neonatal for a week and they kindly let me stay! Good luck… x
