There is another thing that caught my eye.

Most deliveries are 24 hours or less in the hospital.

She was having problems from the beginning or they wouldn't have kept her 2 days.

There is a lot left out of the story.

Part of the problem is the writer of the article is a total ignoramus. It is completely biased and written without a whit of medical knowledge.

I am currently in nursing school. As I understand it,back in the 1990s as a costcutting measure new mothers and their babies were released within 24 hours or less-but so many problems resulted that laws were passed mandating a 2 day stay for vag births, and 4 days for C-section. The "out in 24 hours" is history, at least according to my textbook.
