Mother of six here, and I got to tell you that recovery rates after delivery are all over the map! I think now it's 2 days and out, not 3, and you practically have to be comatose to get an extended stay. I was lucky to have my kids at a hospital that provided a near-by place to stay for nursing mothers. Three of my kids had to stay to spend time under bilirubin lights, but I had to leave!
