I'm due to have my first baby at this hospital (southern general) in July and just wanted to know how things usually went. I will of course ask my mw too when doing my birth plan.
I know there's 12 labour rooms with en suites, 2 of them have birthing pools. How long after an uncomplicated delivery are you allowed to stay in the labour room for skin to skin, first feed then shower etc for me? How long is your husband allowed to stay after you give birth assuming it's outside visiting hours.
I read that the maternity wards are 5 bed wards but a few people I've spoken to ended up getting their own rooms after birth, does anyone know how many there are? I will ask for one and hope no one else needs it, bit worried about trying to establish bf sharing with other people (maybe I'm being silly)
If you arrive at hospital in established labour I assume your husband is allowed to stay with you even outside of visiting hours?
