Just off the back of a few threads I've seen recently...
I was wondering, in the instance of my labour not progressing fast enough, or if I'm being induced..can the hospital make my OH leave?
I hate hospitals, and I'm a bit concerned.
I've chosen to go to the community led midwife unit, which allows my OH to be there at all times, and even has a bed in the room for him to sleep in in case things aren't moving..
But my worst nightmare is having to go to the big hospital a 80 minute drive away to be induced...and being left on the ward myself overnight and OH being told to go home.
I honestly think I would start shouting and screaming if it came to it
I just totally refuse to be left on my own
What if something happens and OH can't get back in time?
I understand this sounds totally childish and silly but the thought makesme want to cry and i feel very panicky.
ONe of my friends recently had to be induced...she had the pessary in, and also gel. She was contracting regulalry, but cervix wasn;t dilated enough to brake her waters..
She ended up on the ward, on her own, in pain- they wouldnt let her OH be with her, they wouldn't let her go home to labour because she'd had the gel/pessary, and they wouldn't move her to labour ward because apparently she wasn't in established labour...
Her baby wasn't born until the next night, and they made her OH leave shortly after.
Can they physically kick him out if i refuse to be without him?!x
