Like you, DH stayed with me for I think 4 (or maybe it was 5) nights that I was in hospital for with DD1. He had planned on going home for the Friday night so he could catch up on a bit of sleep (she was already very unsettled) but I had a meltdown that day so he stayed with me. I really needed him there during those long night hours.

DD2 was born just after 5am and I went home with her at lunch time so not an issue that time.

This time I think I might stay in hospital for at least one night, maybe two. Depending on when she makes her arrival will determine whether DH stays a night with me or not. If my folks haven't had to get up during the middle of the night to come over for the girls when I go into labour, then he'll probably stay with me and the girls with my parents. If they did get up during the middle of the night then he will go home and stay with them. Definitely a play it by ear kind of thing.
