He will skip it then he said. Im staying o/night sunday night after gel induction then on drip monday so he thinks it will all be over by afternoon. Hes argument is that he will need to leave for sleep and things anyway. Ive said he can leave at close of visiting hrs for spouses (9pm)
His response was if he leaves at 6.30 its only a few hours earlier and then he can play poker and sleep. He keeps saying that its important not to let hobbies/him time/me time slide just because bub is born. (What is me time anyway??? i cant remember having any for months)
just to put another spanner in the works - if you're being induced, there is a chance your body and baby won't be ready. if the ob is doing the right thing for you and for your bub, they'll do it gently. so you may not even have a baby by monday night!

i had gels tuesday night. i had a very restless night due to having some contractions - but they did nothing to ripen my cervix. i had gels again wednesday morning as there was no way my body was ready. i was then put on the drip on thursday morning, and it was gradually increased a little at a time until max strength early arvo. waters broken at 3 - baby didn't arrive til after 4 on friday morning

Dh went home wed morning about 2am, was back at 9, left again at 10 that night, back at 8, left on saturday night (so was there thurs to saturday).

if he'd had a hobby i'd have kicked his ass for leaving like that after she arrived! but, i did tell him to rack off and relax elsewhere when things weren't rapidly progressing as he was giving me the poos - i needed some time. he stayed with us overnight the first night and didn't go home for more than 8 hours at a time overnight until we went home. he also stayed the last night so that i could feed more regularly and he would settle dd while i slept (she'd lost too much weight so i was feeding every two hours to try to get my milk in and get her to put on weight
