Private room following elective c-section

Definitely worth asking; on a ward you are quite enclosed drill (we were at least) with curtains etc, and remember it’s totally up to you who gets to visit x
I ended up in a private room afterwards but completely by chance. It depends if the room is in use but I think you can ask your midwife jf there is any and if they are available. I didn’t have to pay for mine either.
It would normally depend on availability. The hospital I gave birth at I had my own room for first night (high dependency room), second night I was on the ward as no normal room available. I was readmitted a few days after discharge to a different hospital and had my own room for the 4 nights I was there
My hospital did do private rooms but a lot of the allocation was based purely on luck. X
It will depend on how your trust manages them. At mine they have private rooms that they used to charge for but now they give them to mothers who children require special care
Are you thinking it’s likely to be family members making these comments or other people within hospital? Our first born had a cleft lip at birth. In our hospital, only really high risk ladies had the private rooms due to there not being many x
i think they save the rooms for the people that need to be isolated due to sickness and stuff or those who are willing to pay extra for them, but you might be lucky enough to be put in one. i wouldn’t worry about comments from anyone, i gave birth during covid so not sure if it’s the same but i didn’t see anyone else’s baby and only midwives saw mine, plus you can keep the curtains closed. also i wouldn’t even worry about someone commenting, if anyone is unhinged enough to comment about someone else’s baby why would you take notice of them
I think some wards have them but you need to pay - worth just calling your hosp and asking them x
