Hi everyone;

Just wanted to know how long everyones DH/DP's stayed at hospital on the day of bub's birth??

I am being induced this sunday/monday. My Dilemma is that DH plays poker (for fun) on Monday nights. He suggested that if bub is born before Poker starts that he could still go that night (at 7pm), seeing as hospital visiting for him ends at 9pm, so it would only be a few hours earlier.

I hit the roof and am very upset with this idea. I thought that he would stay for as long as possible. its his/our first child and i cant believe that he would leave to play poker if hes seen the bub for an hour or 2. He thinks i am being unreasonable. am i???

I thought we would be spending time bonding with bub and that this event would eclipse any other hobbies/interests on that day.

Did your partners/hubby's stay for as long as possible on the day, or did they go home/out/leave after for other things?
