It depends if there were complication and if you had developed preemclampsia or gestational diabetes during the pregnancy, but normally 2-10 days.
It depends on your insurance. Many insurance plans cover a two-day hospital stay for a vaginal delivery and four days for a C-section. Please remember to speak to your OBGYN regarding your stay and what to expect. Best of luck!
