Giving Birth ?

Question

I’m not sure what to really do ? Did anyone have their toddler stay in the hospital with you the entire time during the second baby’s birth , and the whole stay ? Or did you have someone keep them over night and bring them up everyday that your there .

Answer

My hospital wouldn’t have allowed that. My toddler could have been with me the entire time I was in labor and delivery, but once I was moved to recovery I was allowed only 1 adult to stay overnight with me. My toddler could only be there during visiting hours. (A lot of hospitals won’t even allow toddlers in the delivery room)
Either way, we didn’t want him there because he would either be in everybody’s way, or confined to his stroller (or maybe pack n play) and bored out of his mind. 
It was really difficult for me to leave him, but it honestly was not fair to him to bring him with me. My mom came and stayed at our house to watch him the 2 nights I was in the hospital. He came once for a short visit a few hours after his brother was born but that was it.

You can totally ask your ob about it, When i had my second i had my daughter (oldest) with me during labor and delivery my ob had no problem at all with her been there but there had to be another adult watching her in the room with me (her dad was there) when i had my 4th baby my 2yr old was there also i had no problem with my ob he slept when i was delivering and woke up ones baby was born and was allowed to stay the night there. I'm now due with #6 Dec 30th and I'm planning to have my 14mo old with me i live in a different place and the l&d rooms are huge and I'm allowed to have her there just gotta have another adult there which i will

Answer

My sisters in law took my son during the birth and a while after then over night my husband went home to be with him and they can back together the next day. I was only in the hospital 24 hours. My hospital did not allow children to stay over night. I hear this ia common so I'd check your hospitals policy on that.

Answer

I don’t think they allow them to stay there honestly... I wouldn’t though. My son is going to sleep over at my moms. He’s always sleeping over so he’ll be fine.
I already have the scheduled date for c section this time. So he’ll be at my moms the night before.
