....were your partner and baby allowed to accompany you? Am trying to decide between VBAC and ELCS, and this is a scenario I’m concerned about. Consultant midwife last week said I would have to go to theatre alone if I had a VBAC and needed repairs post-birth. I’d welcome hearing about other people’s experiences as the thought of this is quite anxiety-provoking.

I went to theatre for 3rd degree tear repair. Partner and baby came in as I requested them too. I work in that trust and they have since allowed partners and baby to come with mum. It’s shocking that mums and babies are being separated so soon
