Reeneenay . How awful - when will these hospitals realise that a little bit of compassion goes a long long way - in actual patient outcomes. Sorry to bring your past experience up - sounds very much like a long, lonely, painful night I had - I can only imagine that would be really playing on your mind. I guess, though, if the hospital is going to insist on DH leaving, then make sure you ride that buzzer and don't stop until you get the help you need. xxx
The public hospy I went to excepted partners from visiting hours. They could stay as long as they wanted.
Plan to have him stay, as late as you need. Wait until they ask him to leave. If whoever you share a room with as an issue, maybe they can help you? I totally would if I were mobile and the mum next to me wasn't.
I was in a private hospy after my first C/S and my husband stayed all week. A couple times it was questioned but we just ignored it. They provided him a bed as well. I would have been lost without him, the night Midwives werent that great, and in the end out of exhaustion I was co sleeping with my daughter. They kept telling me I would drop her. Ugh. I never did.
I agree with the others, just dont have him leave unless they ask then say he is spending the night as you need assistance. Are they going to force him out with security? I highly doubt it
