He had a cold, but they didn't bat an eyelash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2209097 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 15:24:59 +0000 smocks 2209097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a doctor and they go into work sick all the time. I would be shocked if they didn't let your DH be with you in labor with a mask. There are more contagious people in that hospital, I can guarantee that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208712 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 11:24:52 +0000 getjazzy 2208712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it's food poisoning or something else that isn't contagious. Hope you don't catch it either, I can't remember who's birth story I read but it started with a stomach bug in the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208664 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:48:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 2208664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: This gives me some hope that he'll just have to throw on a mask!</p> <p>This is baby #2 so I don't think it's nerves but I'm really hoping it's just a quick 24 hour bug. I have an appt tomorrow so I'll definitely be talking with my doctor. This might be one of the rare times that I hope I don't go into labor today! Trust me, I am ready!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208644 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:36:02 +0000 pinkb 2208644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got sick the day after I had DS, the day of discharge. The nurses and DR didn't have any issues with him there just asked him to where a mask and have us an extra thing of hand sanitizer. Our Ped showed up for DS first day wearing a mask too, she barely had a voice. DS and I never caught any of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208631 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:31:10 +0000 kjpugs 2208631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fingers crossed it's just food poisoning or a 24 hour bug! Worst case if you have to go in, maybe call ahead or tell them at check in that he's feeling unwell, and hopefully they can give him a face mask? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208624 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:29:03 +0000 smores 2208624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be nerves from starting a new role recently and knowing a baby is on the way soon? </p> <p>I didn't have this experience exactly, but my husband got the flu the day after we got home from the hospital. I quarantined him to our bedroom for 24 hours and we all survived. :) </p> <p>Best of luck and congrats on the soon arrival of your little one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208623 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:28:01 +0000 travellingbee 2208623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, but I'm sorry. That's stressful. Luckily, stomach bugs tend to be very quick (24 hours) so hopefully baby will hold off until daddy stops puking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-sick-and-i-was-due-yesterday#post-2208613 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 10:18:28 +0000 Mommy Finger 2208613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As stated, my due date was yesterday and I'm working from home until this little guy decides to make his debut. DH went to work today and just informed me that he threw up this morning and is feeling awful today but was planning on powering through since he just started leading a new team today and he knows he'll take at least a week off when the baby comes. </p> <p>So now I'm freaking out that he's going to be sick and they won't let him in the delivery room. I've convinced him that he should come home and try to get better to give him the best shot. Has anyone dealt with this? </p>
