Can you please let me know qeqm’s policy for partners on the postnatal ward after birth? Did they make them leave etc?

I don’t really know if they have specific policies but my partner was allowed to stay up until we got discharged! Xx

I had my mum as my birthing partner and she was allowed to stay until we left the hospital

They allow them to stay the whole time with a pink wristband or whatever colour it is now it was pink when I had my son xx

My partner stayed with me and switched with my mum the second night so he could get some rest

You are allowed 1 birth partner to stay (they can’t swap with some one else) every one else visiting hours only 😁

Your birthing partners can be with you anytime
Other visitors come between 4-7pm

You can have one designated birthing partner stay with you at all times, any extra (say your mum or something) can join when you’re in established labour, and visitors between 4pm and 7pm. I was in for about 30 hours in total and my fiancé was with me the whole time

No they can't make them leave ,but there is visiting times for others ,one one is allowed with you but most of them they don't offer beds for the partners some rooms do ,some don't ,my partner and mum switched several times as we went through 3-4 nurses as my baby didn't not wanna come out 😂🫣

Thank you so much everyone! I have bad anxiety and was panicking that after birth he would have to go home x

My partner stayed the whole time and I had baby Christmas day x

I was kept awake most of the night by someone else’s partner’s snoring while on that ward 🫠

I had this too, it was awful! 😂

Possibly I have an unpopular opinion, but the last thing I want is to be bleeding, in pain, feeding my baby when I just gave birth with other males on the ward. It's so uncomfortable, so noisy, unable to rest. I have experienced twice before. I don't like it at all.
And my husband went home on both occasions I gave birth, before anyone comes for me. It's the last thing women want is to be in the most vulnerable moments around strangers and other men...

I am going to see if my husband and if baby is all well wants to take baby home with him haha so I can rest up peacefully after my c section. This is not our first and will be bottle feeding so could well be an option if I stay any longer than a night. Hate hospitals all together. Nothing like your own bed and privacy!

I had a planned c-section in March & was sent home the next day x

Partners are allowed 24/7 in postnatal, other visitors only in visitor hours

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
