Men on maternity ward

Has anyone been told that they can have their birth partner stay overnight with them in the hospital?

When I had my other babies it wasn't allowed. Dad's came as you went up to delivery and were only allowed to stay until 11 etc.

I don't feel comfortable labouring (I'm being induced) with men roaming about. Like legit in their pj's strolling around the ward using the patient toilets etc.

What's your opinions/experience?

Position in baby carrier

Is the baby positioned properly in this baby carrier? I can kiss his head but he likes to lean on one side, is it ok?

No biggie

I just used the bus in Manchester for the first time, in a long time, with my baby! No big deal but I was just happy I had the courage.

C SECTION MAMAs

Just curious—those of you who had C-sections, how did your little ones turn out?
I recently read about research looking at possible associations between C-sections and ADHD/autism, and I was wondering what other moms' experiences have been. No judgment at all, just interested in hearing different stories!
