If you do have to go and have an overnight stay, he should be allowed to stay with you. When I had my second bub there was a woman on the mat ward as she was a post op patient for gall stones and her bub was only 8wks old so they had her on the mat ward so the middies could help her out with bubs as well. She was in for 3 days though. But you may just be able to have in done in the Dr's surgery and get a script for abs but you definitely need to see a Dr though.
