Come in if you were induced!

LouRN09 · September 2012

Alright ladies, little man has a few more days to come on his own as my induction has been scheduled for Monday. I am to come in Sunday evening for cervical ripening (as I havent gone beyond 1 cm in weeks). I assume this is with Cervadil. This is a dumb question, but did your DH stay the night with you if you went in for something like this? I just know there is no where for him to sleep if he came and stayed with me all night! Obviously he would need to be there for when I start to make progress. Just curious what others experienced?

I didn't need cervadil, but if I had, DH would have stayed. At our hospital both the L&D and the recovery rooms had an armchair that pulled out into a twin bed for the SO. Are you sure there would be nowhere for him to sleep?

We did cervadil as outpatients.. So we put it in and monitored for an hour and got sent home to comeback in24 hours or when something happened

From what I remember last time from the L&D rooms, I dont recall a reclining chair. I could be wrong though. The scheduler is supposed to call me with details tomorrow so I plan to ask then. I am sure he wont want to leave me, but Id hate for both of us to not get any sleep.....especially if he cant be comfortable. I know for sure the post partum/Mother Baby unit has a pull our chair/couch though.

i was induced with cytotec and DH was there the entire time. he actually didn't leave my side the entire time until after LO was born to get a shower at home when she was two days old. he slept in a reclining chair next to my bed.

Our hospital has an extra bed in the room that folds out. The couch also works as a bed too.

I had cervadil, cytotec, and pitocin and my DH and Mom were there with me from Friday to Sunday overnights included. There was a chair and a couch to sleep in/on and usually one of them was awake with me since I didn't sleep much.
