Partners at Whiston

Hi guys I’m due in 3 weeks ❤️

Does anyone know how long partners can stay with you once you’ve given birth at Whiston Hospital? Can they stay overnight?

Last time I gave birth was during covid so retractions were a lot different! Thanks

It tends to depend I think with my first I had an emergency c section and was on a shared ward for around 5 hours before getting a private room; they allowed my husband to stay for an hour but then he had to leave. Whereas I had a planned c section with my second and he was allowed to stay the whole way through of her wanted to. It may be that things have changed as my first was nearly 7 years ago but my second was 7 months ago. As far as I am aware he should be able to stay with you.

I gave birth in may and was having an induction. My partner got to stay with me as soon as we was booked in up until I got moved to the ward after having the baby. We got moved to the ward about 1am and he had to go home but was then allowed to come back the following day for the whole day for visiting times which I think was from 8/9am but can’t remember. We were allowed home that same day so not sure what time he would have been allowed to stay til if we hadn’t.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
