[quote=Anonymous]I went on the maternity tour today at INOVA Fairfax and the nurse leading the tour said that patients are discharged 24 hours after birth (of course with no complications). I asked if this was because of something new with insurance, or hospital practice, etc. and the nurse wasn't exactly clear and said something like "Well, it can be due to insurance, etc." and changed the subject to say that we would WANT to go home as soon as possible. As a second-timer, I had a baby with bad jaundice and a botched epidural, which resulted in a wicked spinal headache the first time and I am nervous that being discharged so quickly wouldn't necessarily allow these things to be deteced in time (they weren't noticed until night 2 the first time around). For those that have had kids recently, how long did you stay? Is there anything you can do to stay 48 hours like many insurance plans actually allow? Is it worth asking the OB about? [/quote]
