Still Nothing
July 20th, 2007 | By Ian in BabiesSorry, no sign of Junior yet.
I am, however, in a bit of a rage about going to be induced. Not only will it not be at our chosen hospital, not only has it been moved forward a day but it seems I will only be allowed to see Mrs C during visiting hours and wont be allowed to stay with her until she enters “active labour”.
In essence this means I’ll have to drop her off at 7:30 in the morning and I wont be allowed back until 3pm. At 8pm, unless she is 3cm dilated or is having contraction less than 1 minute apart, I will have to leave again.
That is absolute madness! This is our first child, Mrs C is thoroughly nervous about being induced and I wont be allowed to stay with her?! I’m really very angry about this as it’s just making Mrs C even more worried about giving birth.
I’m not too sure what I’ll do when they tell me I have to leave either… what utterly ridiculous rule.

I can’t believe they’re allowed to do that! I’d certainly be upset. I want my husband there by my side the whole time! I say just refuse to leave.
Oh, and I just added you to my blogroll too!

Thanks for the add Christina.
After leaving a post on Mumsnet it seems to be a fairly common practice here in the UK. Not that it seems to go down very well with any of the parents…
