Not in labor! But I've been waking up w pregnancy insomnia the last few nights so I move to the guest room not wanting to wake dh.
Plan on doing the same if I start feeling contractions one of these days. I want him as well rested ad possible!!
-
I agree! One of us should be getting some sleep. My ability to make decisions is so impaired when I'm tired, that I'm going to need him at full brain power.
-
My contractions started at 4pm. I sent my hubby to bed at 10 so he could get some rest. I stayed on the couch all night and snoozed for about an hour from 3-4 when I was woken up to bad contractions. I woke him up at 4:30 to let him know it was time and I have never seen the man move faster in my life!
@mrsjyw I'm impressed you're sleeping in the guest room. I love our bed so much I refused to sleep elsewhere! Lol
-
I woke up at 2am with contractions.
Waited til I had showered and labor was coming on fast before I woke him. -
He woke up because I got into bed and then back out and turned the light on. My labor was pretty fast so it was good that he woke up!
-
The night before I went to the hospital I got contractions all night but didn't wake my husband up. I was in bed, too, and tried to sleep in between. The next day we went to the hospital around 5.
-
Woman don't get me excited like that!!! I would love to say that I would let him rest up but I probably won't. I do NOT handle pain well and I'll need him to help me through.
-
We were actually in bed! My water broke and I go to DH "did yu hear that??"
-
I didn't wake him up until it was time to go to the hospital! Although I did wish he would have woken up of his own accords
-
It was before bed when my water broke, so I just shouted to him that it happened (then had to say "Yes, really!" about 6 times). We ended up sleeping at our house that night though and I didn't wake him when I had contractions. I did kick him into the spare room when we first came home so that he could sleep while I was up at all hours with a newborn. I liked having the TV on and he had to go to work so him being in the spare room made life easier for me.

I just got sooo excited!! boo
my water broke at 5pm, but I prob wouldve waited til I needed him!
-
He woke up when I got out of bed. He dozed for a couple of hours before I made him get up to get ready for the hospital. Things progressed much faster than I thought they would.
-
I started having contractions at 10 pm so he was already up.
-
It was the middle of the day the first time so he was with me but the second time I had to call him at work because my water broke at 5 am and lo was breech so I needed a c-section. And it was a good thing I didn't wait because within an hour I was 6 cm dilated and things were escalating quickly!
