you usually only have to fast for 4-8hr prior to a procedure. not 24hrs.
visiting hours depend on the nurse that is on, coz some will be more lenient depending on why you are there and how you are coping. i would think it would just be easier for them to let him stay with you through this traumatic ordeal, as it gives you someone to talk to and help calm you down a bit. seems like you just have a hard headed nurse on.
oceanprincess - they normally wont divulge much over the phone especially not to someone who isn't immediate family, because of privacy laws.
wishing you all the best mrss and thinking of you.
Morning everyone
Now theyve let me charge my phone I'll be having a big de brief with my doula today.
They gave me pain meds (just panadine forte) and tampazapan and I got to sleep!! I feel so much better after 3 days of no sleep those 5 hours were amazing!
Contractions went down to one in 10-15 when I was sleeping the nurse just said and are still at one in 10 so that's good.
Sorry for you all listening to me ramble especially yesterday I was so exhausted and over emotional.
Still in the birthing room think I said that DH is waiting outside he arrives an hour ago and they won't let him in yet
mrss glad you finally got some sleep, its amazing what a big difference that can make. and good news re: contractions slowing down. dont worry about your emotional release, i probably would have been worse. you are doing an amazing job, you are already showing your boys what a good mother you are. we are all here for you no matter what. all the best xo
Yeah it's dumb so he's gone back to his room just spoke to him on the phone and hes a mess, he gets very worked up not angrily but he was crying and vomiting on the phone because he's so I don't know overwhelmed?!
Awww your poor husband. Could you maybe speak to the CN or NUM of the ward and let them know that your will be putting in a complaint of how you and DH are being treated it is not fair that he isn't allowed to stay with you. Your both going through such a scary thing, it is best for both of your psychological well being that he can stay with you. I hope they listen babe. Xoxoxox
Because I need "rest" I'd only just woke up when he first got here but still what would it matter if I was asleep he wouldn't have woken me he just wanted to sit with me like they have all night
Ah well hopefully things will be better on the ward
Aw man, you need to kick up a stink! You need rest? OK, so stressing you out by taking away your main support person is going to give you that is it? **** wits. I would be demanding that you DH be allowed in at ANYTIME. You need him & he needs you at this time so tell them to shove their policy's up their bum!
OK i have read from the start to the finish and first of all getting thru this tell me you are a strong women and those boys are fighters.... I am with the other women demand to speak to the NUM and tell then what you want ... pain killers and your husband 24/7. I have worked at monash as a rn 1 what they have told you is BS....
You got private cover as you could ask to be transfered to Jesse Mac within Monash.....
You need to chuck some wabblies and ask for the plan and tell them your not coping .....
cheers
Hoping today goes better for you MrsS. Really glad you managed to get some sleep, that will make it much easier for you to be assertive about what is going on. Good luck xx
