Hi
I have accepted that I am having an ELCS in a few weeks time whether I like it or not and reading through the information pack I've seen partners can visit 10am-12, and 2-9pm only.
We've already got one DC (with additional needs) and so childcare will be being provided by her usual nursery 9-5. With the restrictions in place that means DH will be much less able to be around than I desperately need him to be, and he also feels shut out from getting to know his child in the first few days (I'll be in 2 days/2 nights).
Now DH is quite well behaved, he doesn't shout, doesn't run in the corridors and never sits on the hospital bed. But I'm already nervous enough as it is and suddenly discovering that he won't be with me most of the 2 days I am in has come as quite a shock.
Anyone any advice? Our first DC was born very sick and neither of us held her for the first 8 days so we are understandably hoping things will be better this time around.
