When I was having my babies, both were overdue. They induced me both times and I was in hospital waiting to go to the delivery room for 2 nights each time. They sent my husband home then which the first time wasn't too bad because nothing was happening. He didn't got till sometimes gone midnight and he was back in at 7am so I didn't really realise he was gone.
However the second time they induced me my body reacted very quickly and they sent him home whilst I was having really strong contractions. They did an internal and a stretch and sweep just before he was sent home and then told me to go to sleep. Obiviously there was no way I could sleep because I was having contractions and I'd already been told that I was 3cms dilated!
At 3am I was screaming for pain relief and to be taken to a delivery room but in the end they gave me drugs to stop the contractions as they said I was at the stage where they could just pop my waters when they had room for me to be delivered. That was a horrible night and I wish I'd complained really.
I would definately have a word with your midwife about your worries. The reason why I was told that he couldn't stay was because it was invasive for the other women but I think if you really push for it, they can't force him to go home.
in all the stories i read the couple have gone to hospital and because the womans only like 2cm dilated the husband or boyfriend gets sent home for a little bit and they call him when to come in, but i dont want my OH to go home i want him there the whole time even if i'm sleeping i dont want to get so far and they dont realise and he doesnt have time to get back, i want him there for all of it. Do you think they would make him go home or if i kicked up a fuss they would let him stay?? I still see myself as being young as i'm only 20 and i would be scared without him there. He will be my strength through it all
