It's from 5 years ago, but I don't think much has changed since https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/29/new-mothers-discharged-hospital-too-early-nhs https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/29/new-mot... was published.
I should add that, from what I've heard, same day discharges is much more common for the second (/third/etc) child compared to having a first.
- swish_bob 7y agoWe wouldn't even have gone into hospital for the second one, except the midwife was unable (or too uncomfortable) to sew up the worse than expected tearing my wife suffered. Even after being whisked to hospital in an ambulance (at about 3 am), my wife was back home the same day. Mostly, I believe, driven by the fear of infection.
