Here in The Netherlands most woman deliver at home. I didn't want to deliver at home because it scares me and you can't get any pain relieves. So I delivered in the hospital. If you have a vaginal birth then you can go home after a few hours. If you have a c section you go home after 2 or 3 days. At home you get from the insurance 7 days 8 hours a day help with the baby and the houshold from a lady. So you don't have to do anything. She cooks, clean and take care of the baby if you like or can't.

First time I stayed in hospital for 5 days because of a bad tear and haemorrhaging.
Second time I stayed in hospital for 3 days, for the same reasons as first time, but I had better care second time and recovered faster.
I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed my days in hospital as it gave me time to bond with my baby on my own. Especially second time!

I am an oddball as well as loving my time in the hospital, esp. this last time. My 3rd c-section and it was too close from DS2's c-section (no one said anything, they said everything looked fine, but my body felt it so hard.) I loved the time in the hopsital with DD alone, and I enjoyed when my older sons "visited"...
the first few days home I was a wreck. My happy over-elation over having DD passed once I got home and reality set in, and I had a wicked headache for about a week after she was born, where I didn't even much enjoy her, and def. not the boys or anyone else. I just wanted to sleep or be left alone. And it shocked me because I didn't think I'd feel that way since I had just had my DG! But then once I realized it had nothing to do with my love for my kids, it was all hormones, it really helped my recovery, and I just kept telling myself to take it one day at a time, and it was def. better by a month. Now, two months out, I feel a ton better. But everytime I have a baby, the panic of taking care of the baby, the looming dread of sleepless nites, the up and down emotions...I don't remember any of that until I'm back holding a newborn baby again.

For my first I only stayed 2 days and wished I had stayed longer as we ended up having to go back in due to a bad case of jaundice. With my 2nd I stayed the recommended 4 days and was really happy with it- I had tearing so it was great to have the electric bed for nursing, and to have the bathroom only a few steps away. Plus I was able to sleep when the baby slept instead of having to entertain my older son or hear him in the background. For the next one I would also stay 3-4 days, I really enjoyed the hospital time and wouldn't have a problem if we still stayed a week like in the past
