Transcript: So now that you’ve delivered your little one, what can you expect from the remainder of your hospital stay? Congratulations! You’re now ready to begin getting to know your new addition, and bonding with your baby. If you plan to breastfeed, you will usually start doing so within one hour of delivery. To help you get the hang of nursing, the hospital will send a lactation consultant to your room. Post-delivery, your doctor will come to check on you at least once, while nurses will monitor you around the clock. Provided your baby is healthy, you will be able to keep her with you for the rest of your stay. You’ll also have the option of sending the baby to the nursery when you need a rest. Within 48 hours of a healthy vaginal delivery, and 96 hours of a healthy C-section, you and your new family will be able to leave the hospital. Remember, you need to install an appropriate car seat IN ADVANCE, as some states require this before you can drive home!
