I'm planning on giving birth at the home from home centre (if I'm lucky) at St Thomas' hospital. I'd like my partner and a doula to be present throughout labour and birth, but I can't find any info about how many people you are allowed to take in with you. Does anyone know? Thank you :)

You're allowed to have two people with you at St Thomas's. I had my DH there and my mum for part of my very long labour!

It's two. I had my DS2 there last week, it's fantastic, very very good care I thought

Though only one if you need to go into the operating theatre. I know you never plan to end up having a EMCS but I just thought to mention it as it happened to us and we had to make a quick decision.
