Well.... I'm sat in the hospital car park and my wife has gone in for an induction. Not how I imagined this happening; not great not being able to be there with her.

What is the reason you're not allowed? Surely a birth should be an exemption?

Wishing you all the very best. Hope it goes well mate.

Yeah I'm probably sounding more dramatic than I need to be. I'll be allowed in once she's in active labour... But still, really doesn't feel so good right now! 

Yeah, the whole not being allowed into the ward thing is pretty rough, having done it myself six weeks ago I very much appreciate it's not ideal. However, at least you'll be there for the most important part! It did feel like a bit of a gut punch having to leave afterwards when they took my wife back to the ward, so might be worth preparing yourself for that (unless restrictions are different now).

My wife was induced with our first, and we were sent home only for it happen the following day, so it's not always instantaneous, but hopefully it all gets underway soon for you!

That sucks. I'm sure you will both be feeling it. I know I'm dreading having to be in hospital alone. Hopefully the induction is a quick one and you get to go in soon as I know inductions can take days. All the best to you both and I hope baby Rockwell gets here safe and sound very soon!

I had to hold my wife on a bouncy ball for about six hours so sitting in the car with a crossword and strolling in when business picks up sounds perfect to me!

I joke of course, it’s no good not being able to be there for the whole thing. All the best to you all

Cheers guys.  She's been having on and off contractions for a few days so hoping a little nudge will get her properly going quickly and it won't be a drawn out affair...

My reading up on labour has told me that second inductions are often a pretty fast affair, its usually with the first that they tend to be long and drawn out so fingerscrossed you'll be with her sooner rather than later. 

 

Do you know what you are having?
