zippy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Our lass is due any time now. My question(s) is: If she gives birth at say 9pm, what time can I stay till. As above but 2am and so on? Your advice would be appreciated. it's usually the case that there is near enough open visiting for the father / mum's birthing partner if the father is not around the STH website doesn't appear to give the visiting times information for the jessop wing but does give phone numbers for the wards http://www.sth.nhs.uk/about/1-2-4-phonewards.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkerSWFC Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 well when ur missus is giving birth u can stay with her as long as it takes, the nurse offered me a matress when i was there with the other half, it took that long lol try and keep your calm with the nurses as they can get really annoying when your lass has given birth they normally give u a couple of hours with the little un never mind what time it is, then they ask u to go so ur missus and baby can have a bath and some rest. hope it helps in some way lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagger Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Our daughter was born at 7pm yet my hubby was still with me at midnight:hihi: They were busy that night and I didn't get up to the ward until 1am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky_s Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 They don't seem to chuck partners out... well, ever! I wouldn't worry too much. They even let one young girl's boyfriend stay with her in their own private side room because she was upset at being left... although she was only about 14, so maybe that was an exceptional circumstance!!!

becky_s Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I had my daughter at 6am, was in the hospital all night and my partner eventually left at about 11 to get some rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 We went in with our first at 2am. he was born at 9.16, went up to the ward at 11am, and i left about 11.30ish, got a bit of kip then was back at 4pm. I left that night at 11pm ish, but could have stayed longer. They dont tend to ask the father's to leave. Other wise the visiting hours are 4pm til 8pm.

babychickens Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 i think that if you happen to be put in a private room you can stay as late as you like, but i might be wrong. certainly when i stayed in for a night before the babby was born they didn't kick my other half out, he left of his own volition at about 2am. that, however, wasn't in the labour ward.

thingy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 If you are in a private room you can stay as long as you like, that is true. I think its just a bit more of courtesey (if i spelt that right, lol) than owt else really if you're on a labour ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
