zafyri Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I know that with a normal pregnancy, at least in the US, provided there are no complications, they keep you only 24-48 hours after delivery.But with PSD, we're at a greater risk of postpartum complications.So, my question is, did anyone stay longer than normal for more observation after delivery? Were you worried about the complications? What about switching to warfarin postpartum and being monitored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumdrop Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Zafyri,I'm in Australia and I haven't been told that I need to stay any longer than for a normal mum. I usually get told I can stay as long or as little as I like.I usually take aspirin and heparin injections after bub arrives and stop the heparin after 6 weeks and continue on aspirin forever.The plus side of going home is that you get up more and move about which decreases your chances of clotting, so it is a good thing if you're feeling up to it.i would talk to your dr about it at your next visit and see what he/she recommends for you.Congratulations and best of luck for a smooth and healthy pregnancy and delivery!Cheers,Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefoot Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Once you are injecting you don't need to be in the hospital and I've always found my own bed and bathroom a lot more comfortable! I'm in the UK and have been back home within 4 hours with my last two births. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
