The answer to that OP, at least at Frances Perry House where I had my boys (and had a c/s for DS2), is that they have a pull out bed for DH to sleep on. After 2 nights we were transferred to a bigger room with a double bed (which still went up and down like a single hospital bed). I don't know about public, but I certainly know a few people who have had caesars in private hospitals and have had their partner stay.
