[quote=Anonymous]Rather than snark on pps, I'll attempt to answer op's question. :twisted: I delivered at INOVA ffx in late April; I left after 24 hrs, but believe me, I had to really push to make it happen.  I mentioned it at the get go and at every juncture brought it up again (during each test, asking the on call ped to come in quickly, pushing discharge paperwork, etc).  I just wanted to be in my own bed, on my own schedule.  This was my second however, with no complications.  I delivered in the evening, so came home in late evening of following day (just didn't want to try to sleep another night there).  With my first, we did stay 48 and were glad of it (bfing was tricky, and just in general we were happy for the support).

So OP, regardless of what the nurse told you, if you are comfortable staying 2 nights, do it!  I actually had a really nice room, few interruptions, and thought the food was decent...I just wanted home, my things, and really most importantly, my older DD.[/quote]
