I know it's like asking how long is a piece of string and depends on the labour but if everything is straightforward and both baby & I are ok is it reasonable to expect to go home that day?
I hate hospitals and really don't want to stay in overnight, I wont sleep, I'll fret about DH & miss my dogs etc and just want to come home.
I've heard people say that sometimes you can come home 6 hours after but this is my first so will it make a difference? I've thought about putting it into my birth plan but do hospitals take much notice of them?
Also is there a cut off time? i.e they don't release women after 6pm?
