iugr and being induced
I know I have been through this with my first pregnancy but this time I had high hopes of having my daughter in the delivery room with me but just got informed that I will be delivering at a hospital that does not allow kids under the age of 14 there. I am scheduled for an amniocentesis Feb.11th for lung maturity then induction the same week. I have only ever spent 2 nights away from my daughter and both times my hubby had her. I don't have much family around us and no friends so I am pretty worried about leaving her with anyone else. My mom passed away almost a year ago and she does not know my hubby's mom at all. I hardly talk to my dad after what he did to my hubby. So I am really sad and don't know what to do she is gonna be an emotional wreck and not know what to do without her daddy or I around. My son is gonna have to spend a GRE days in nicu they are thinking and I wont want to leave him as I was the same with my daughter as well.
Did yu ask if that includes yer own children? The hospital my sister delivered at had the same rule but it didn't apply to siblings of the child being born
I'm glad that you found someone of trust.. It will put you at ease and make delivery a tad bit easier , knowing she's in good hands..
I wish they would do that but no child under 14 is allowed on that floor at all. I have a great friend that is going to take her and she will be close to mine and his family. I fear delivering alone as well and my hubby knows my fears. I know no doctors in the hospital I will be delivering in. I have a fear of new people as well. Which makes my situation a lil more unique. My daughter will be safe and I have known the family she will be with for years. She gets along great with their kids as well.
I live here in texas..when i gave birt to my second.child our first was with my hubby and me..the nurse took her out just when i was giving birth.then brought herher right back in...
If I were in your shoes ill chose leaving my husband with my daughter, even if it meant him missing the birth of our son. Sadly you really don't have someone of trust near you, nevertheless someone your daughter feels comfortable with... The good thing is he (husband) could come over in the a.m and evenings and that means your daughter won't be left alone for quite long..
It is very stressful for me but I am thankful I found someone just wish they lived closer as my daughter will not get to meet her lil brother until we are home from the hospital.
I have a similar problem. i have no idea whoes going to watch my son while I'm ib the hospital
Im the same. I dnt have anyone for my kids to stay with when I have my bby. And the other times I askd my sister but she wasnt wrkng and now she is. And my husband just left them when I gave birth and had to come back to pick them up because my family are kindda special.. But right now I dnt know who will be watchng my kids...
We have moved to a place where we have no one around. I just made arrangements with a friend to take her that has 3 small children that she truly loves again 5 hours away as well. But I have to do what I have to do to keep my daughter safe and protected. Plus she will only be a few houses down from my dad and be able to visit him as well. I am more worried about her separation anxiety as she has never been away from her dad or I. I know she will be in safe hands though.
I think the aunties would be a good idea. Just my opinion, but I couldn't imagine having a 2 year old in the room for all those hours while in labor. Heck I'm nervous to have my daughter there & she will be nearly 17 when I deliver!
Cant she sleep over at a friends house maybe? When I was 14 and a family emergency came up, I would ask to go to a friends house.
She will be 2 in 2 weeks exactly. I was hoping of having her there as we have no one to trust to be with her. I may have to drive her to my aunties that is 5 hours away for a week it so and that will be hard on me.
Is there another hospital around that would allow her there? I don't know how old she is but since she's under 14 it may not be good for her to be in the delivery room anyway.
