pregnancy and delivery. I Home care begins within 24 E hours of hospital discharge, and, if two other visits are necessary, they must follow on consecutive days. "OVER THE last few decades, medical and consumer opinion have changed regarding how long mothers and their infants need to remain in the hospital after delivery," Aiello said. "For low risk deliveries, hospital stays of 10-14 days or even 3-6 days are no longer considered necessary. Now adays, many physicians view childbirth as a normal part of life — not as a disease or medical problem." People interested in participating in the Early Maternity Discharge Program of Blue Cross should call ShoreCare at 646-1776 ext. 21. All direct pay subscribers and many groups have this benefit.
