How long does a mother have to be detained at the hospital after normal delivery with no complications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
48 hours: The first 48 hours are important as the baby is transitioning from fetal circulation (blood flow characteristics while inside mom) to regular independent blood circulation. The baby is also transitioning from never having breathed before, to breathing earth's air fully independently. Mom also has to transition her body's processes back to her non-pregnant condition.
