By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) – – Women around the world are leaving hospitals too soon after giving birth, according to a new analysis. The World Health Organization suggests that women stay in the hospital at least 24 hours after a vaginal delivery, but researchers found that depending on the region, up to 83 percent of women left before that cutoff. Also, up to 75 percent of women left hospitals too soon after cesarean-section deliveries, based on U.S. recommendations and laws.
