Help needed! Husband has stomach virus-- induction tomorrow!

sashia

I mostly just need someone to calm my nerves. I am being induced at 6am.

My husband woke up this morning with horrible stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea to the point he was just expelling clear liquid when he used the bathroom....

He went to urgent care because we weren't sure if his appendix had ruptured since he was in so much pain. Oh and also because I'm being induced at 6am and we needed answers.

They didnt swab for flu since he didnt have a fever.

They said it was a stomach virus and that he should feel better by this evening, which he does. They gave him a shot and prescribed nausea medication. He took a long nap when he got home. He's been wearing a mask and I've gone behind him sanitizing everything he might have touched.

I called my OB nurse and explained the situation. She said he should be okay to wear a mask in the delivery room but I am still weary. I don't know what to do. It's his first child, he can't miss the birth of him. But at the same time, he'll be seconds old and his dad will probably still be contagious.

Has this happened to anyone before? Does anyone have any recommendations on what we should do?

I have cried off and on all day--mostly because I'm 39 weeks pregnant and feeling like all the bones in my body are breaking and I've had to do our list of last-minutes things before baby arrives..
