Hi! I'm due for an induction tomorrow for tailing growth. Will my partner be allowed to stay with me overnight even if things are not progressing quickly or only if I'm actually in labour? Thanks.

I’m having an induction Sunday for the same reason. I did read in the leaflet that although they aren’t allowed to stay over night they have flexible visiting hours but doesn’t actually detail what that means xxxxxx

Yes usually your partner is welcome to stay he is not considered a visitor. But if you still have questions I would Google your labor and delivery hospitals phone number and call and ask them they are really good at telling you what is allowed and isn’t.

No, unless you are on the labour ward he has to leave by 8pm x

oh we may see each other there then. Are you going to LGI or SJH? Let's see what flexible hours are...😅

thank you! I hope things go fast and he doesn't have to leave for long 🤞🏼

I’m over in Wakefield so I’ll be going to Wakefield.. if there’s any beds 🤣 I’ve heard getting a bed at pinderfields is very tricky and people are ending up all over the place so we shall see 🤣 xxxxxx

When i was induced my husband was allowed to stay overnight he just had to sleep on the chair near my bed, its just after labour when he wasnt allowed to stay x

hopefully! 🤞🏻be prepared that you’ll be in a few days though 🙈 I did 2 nights on my own before being taken up to labour ward but I know some can be even more than that!

I think it depends on the hospital rules, both times I got induced I was allowed to have 2 other people in the room with me overnight and for delivery so the first time with my son I had my husband and mom there with me the whole time and my second time with my daughter I had my husband and sister with me the whole time

Unfortunately not, only if your in labour he’s allowed to stay

Each hospital has diff rules I'd call and ask the hospital
