My hubby won't be staying with me and I'll have a private room but that's because he will be taking care of our 6 yr old and 2 1/2 yr old. I'm not even worried about it much cause its only gonna be two or three days and he will be there during the day. I bet its interesting having other new mommas to talk to after u have the baby I've never heard of sharing a room after birth. Maybe u will make a few new mommy friends while ur there.

Awww mine won't stay with me neither but only because he will have to stay with our toddler. We don't like to have our son stay at our families houses. I fill more comfortable he stays with our son

Private room or not he should be there to bond. Tell him how you feel. It's important to you. If he insists tell him he's paying the extra for the privacy.

Unless you want to pay 250$ a night to stay in a private room but I'm due in December and Christmas is right around the corner and there's my son and nd my fiancé daughter to consider for presents so can't blow really blow money for a private room.  Plus I don't work right now cause I have HG

Im in CA and ive never been to a hospital where they shared a room unless it was busy. My hubby stayed with me because he wanted as much bonding time with the baby too. Im sorry he won't be there...it is a bit selfish.  Tbis sec I pregnancy my hubby cant since he needs to be with our son.  Hopefully he will change his mind

The hospital i was in in ca had shared rooms but i didnt have to share cuz they werent busy. Im sure thats how they all work. Id be so mad if my hub tried to pull that. Ask the hosp if u will have your own room if theyre not full

It's really amazing to me that you have to share a room, are you in the United States? And how is it that he's ok that you and baby stay with strangers but not him! He should definitely want to protect you guys!!! I hope he changes his mind.

You have to share a room!? :/ what state are you in? All patients in our L&D have their own private room. My husband never stayed over night with me with my previous pregnancies. I was bummed but at least he was with through out my labor.

My husband probably won't b able to stay with me...not for long anyways. I gotta have my mom watch my other kids...the oldest she's fine with but my 1 1/2yr old, not so much bc he's clingy and she's not a baby person, so he'll have to end up leaving. If ur man don't really have any prior responsibilities like that and it's just about sleeping, u should definitely explain to him how much u want and need him to b with u, even if he's uncomfortable. It's not like ur gonna b all cozy the whole time lol I can't imagine giving birth in a public room...my stuff all out there....

I had a private room and my huz didn't stay. I guess it didn't really occurs to me that he should. I'm sorry though, I hope things get worked out before baby comes.

Your lucky partners are aloud to stay. In New Zealand hospitals the men are not aloud to stay with you. Unless you go private and that depends if theres room at the birthing centres and no complications

Ask for a private room. They can accommodate prefrences. I think it's selfish to let your newborn and fiancé sleep with strangers but don't want to be there for support. Good luck I hope he changes his mind, and stops thinking about himself first.  ♡♡♡
