Is your DH staying overnight with you?

lhull · April 2009

while you are in the hospital? I probably going to make mine, but just wanted to see what everyone else was doing. He'll probably go home to feed the cats and shower, but I am making him come back. Am I mean? LOL

inbetween · April 2009

Dh wouldn't have it any other way. I know our hospital isn't too bad, I stayed with my friend when she had her dd. We will bring pillows and a blanket from home. It's not the worse thing ever, besides I think he can sleep uncomfortable for two days considering I have gone through 9 months of pregnancy plus delivery!

heyyohe · April 2009

Haha..no!! DH is not leaving my side! Well, except to feed our fat cats and shower...and maybe sneak me some non-hospital food

trinise · April 2009

Yep and my DH is staying all night as well, he stayed up all night of conception so you can't skip out during delivery.

Aprilynn0206 · April 2009

yes, he refuses to not stay.. and he won't be running home to check on the pets.. we've had to get somebody else to do that for us.. he said this is a once in a lifetime experience and he's not missing a moment of it..

bbin09 · April 2009

Absolutely, we've never considered anything different. We don't have pets or other kids to worry about so there's no reason for him not too- plus he wants to.

Temp149801812508276 · April 2009

DH is definitely staying overnight with me.?

krstokes · April 2009

Oh yeah.... He will leave to go home and let the dog out ( we live 10 min away) but he'll stay overnight! The recovery/ overnight stay rooms in the maternity ward at our hospital are really pretty nice!

J&MsMom · April 2009

DH didn't but he has a hard time sleeping in different places. He tried the first night and was driving me nuts so He would go home at midnight and be back at 7. I was in the hospital for 4 days.

beth thacker · April 2009

Yes he is.. he says he wants to so i'm not going to argue. We live right next to the hospital so I expect he will come home and shower and stuff but I guess he wants to be there with the baby as well.

cspence1 · April 2009

umm yes if he wants to live!! and he doesnt want to leave anyways

gapgirl972001 · April 2009

since dd was a very early and we had nothing finished plus I had a c/s he stayed the 1st night but I sent him home to finish the last minute stuff. He was there most of the time though.

This time, we have our daughter he needs to watch. so depending on how and when I deliver we will see if he stays or not

Gallaway · April 2009

DH is definitely staying in the hospital with me and our house is about a minute and a half from the hospital. ?I would expect it from him, but really he wants to anyway.

kklickka · April 2009

Yep, he is staying with me. We'll have family in town to take care of the dogs, so we'll be able to spend time just bonding with DS and getting used to feeding and changing him.

Suparstarz714 · April 2009

I hope my DH stays with me. The rooms even have a couch that turns into a bed for DH to sleep on. I am sure he will go home and shower, but I am thinking he will do that during the day. We haven't talked about it, but I am assuming he will stay over with me.

ForForever · April 2009

Yes, absolutely.

MattresMuffin69 · April 2009

The only way he won't stay over is if no one can watch DD.

MrsGibson07 · April 2009

Yes mine is! He said he wouldnt have it any other way. Plus... I dont want him to leave my side!

Mrs.Carlybella · April 2009

i don't think he's allowed- they don't have private rooms and they don't let husbands officially stay in case a middle of the night roomie comes in (but i think they let them stay if it is empty if you know what i mean).

he will stay as much as he can- but he will need to go take care of the dog, and it will be nice for one of us to get some sleep. if he does have to get home- he will be up bright and early and back in asap

Valerie1283 · April 2009

Mine is only going home to shower & to feed the dog....

Temp159135562506975 · April 2009

Yes- he stayed every night when i was in the hospital before I had my DS and after... and he'll stay every night when i have the twins. He'll go home in the am to shower/change- and probably visit with DS at some point during each day- but will be with me and the babies each night (which will be 4 nights).

APrice4UT · April 2009

DH plans to be there the entire time (maybe some trips home), but my parents will be staying at our house and taking care of the pooch and other things.

Little_Star · April 2009

He did with our first. This time I've told him to go home and give our 4 year old a sense of normalcy.

LoveEeyore · April 2009

No, because we will try to keep some consistency with DD, but he didn't with DD when she was born. I couldn't think of a reason for him to, to be honest. I figured sleep is sleep and at least one of us should be comfortable!

emaria · April 2009

dh looked at me like i was crazy when i asked if he was staying with me at the hospital - he was like where else would i want to be? ?i think i'll keep him

N&G 5_26_07 · April 2009

Him NOT staying never even crossed my mind. Of course he will stay!

Suparstarz714 · April 2009

I just asked DH if he is planning on staying with me at the hospital and he said ya, why wouldn't I?

McLovinfromHawaii · April 2009

You'd better believe it! His dad can check on our dogs while we are in the hospital.

violetvilla83 · April 2009

I feel bad. I haven't even asked him what he wants. I kinda just assumed he would stay, so I hope he does. We're only 5 minutes from the hospital.

Choco80 · April 2009

I am not sure if he will - we live a 5 minute walk from the hospital, and I would be fine with him going home at night to sleep in a real bed. ?Then again, this is my first, and I have no idea how we'll both feel when it all happens. ?I bet it becomes very difficult to leave when you're actually there...

byrne15 · April 2009

i stayed 3 nights after my c-sec. dh stayed with me all 3 nights. he went home for a couple hours during the day to wash up and change/do chores, but my mom would come when he would leave so i was never alone..

chounTX · April 2009

He's staying every night except for the last night. I want him to get as much rest as possible so when we get home - he's well rested and can take care of the LO while I get to enjoy being at home. At least one of us will be well rested when we arrive back at the house :-)

But, my mom is staying with me the last night.

Chrisy-Wyobride · April 2009

He did when I had my first--I sent him home to be w/ DD#1 when I had my 2nd & will send him home again this time I think. It was nice having the night(s) w/ just me & the baby...since it will never happen again--LOL!

sara1104 · April 2009

he stayed one night with DD and he snored so loudly & slept through lab draws, crying baby & everything. I sent him home after that! This time he won't because he will be home with DD.

blf722 · April 2009

He will. Baby is in room 24/7 at our hospital unless there is something wrong, so he will be bringing baby to me for feeding, etc.

rebus82 · April 2009

Unless he's feeding the cats, taking a shower or getting food for me (our hospital is not particularly vegan-friendly), he'll be in the room with me. I can't imagine him leaving to go home at night. I certainly wouldn't consider it "making" him stay, I'd hope he wants to be there with me and his son.

smismar · April 2009

He'll be going home at least to let the dog out and feed her (and show her something like a cap or blanket that smells like the baby). But I think he's going to stay at the hospital with me. The Mother/Baby suites have pull-out couches for the dads.

Chrysallys · April 2009

He most definitely will which is great since the baby will room in with us. Now will come the hard part, convincing my mom that she isn't going to stay with us and sleep on the floor (the hospital has extra futons) because she totally would.

jmurach · April 2009

DH is planning on staying with me. The only reason why he wouldn't is if the baby comes early and he's still finishing up a rotation.

Jen&Joe06 · April 2009

If we stay at the hospital overnight he will stay with me.
