Partner staying after delivery

Anyone recently given birth at Wigan, if you had to stay overnight or for few nights, did they let your partner stay?

Bit overwhelming thinking i could have to stay in for up to 6 days and my Partner not be there during the night?

There allowed to stay until about 9pm then have to go home xx

I gave birth there three weeks ago - my husband could stay all night xxx

Mine had to go home xx

Mine had to go home at 9, but that was in 2024 xx

Mine had to go xx

I gave birth at bolton but was told wigan are similar. My husband had to leave at 8 or 9pm and come back in the morning. This was after a section in a bay/ward. It may be different if you have a private room. I stayed 2 nights and found it hard but honestly you just get through it and there are people there to support you x

I had my baby 8 months ago now 5 weeks early did 6 nights on neonatal ward and my partner wasn't allowed to stay over he stayed till like 10pm most nights even though they say 9pm but deffo wasn't allowed to stay over

Leave at 9 and allowed back at 9 but also sometimes depending what time you give birth x

We had baby last week by emergency c section, my partner was able to stay, visitors can come 2 -8 however partner has no limit.

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!
