Due July

[Sandra800]

Hi everyone,

I know I still have some time but I’m super super nervous about giving birth. Not so much because of the labour, because of all this covid19 situation going on.

I’m due in July eveything going well.

Just wondering if anybody has given birth through this covid19 situation or know of anyone who and given birth.

How was they experience at the hospital?
Was anybody allowed to be with you?

Friend had a baby 10 days ago. Partner allowed in once she was in established labour but not allowed on pre-labour ward or post-labour ward.

Oh really. I hope things a are more better on June July time. It's so hard with this whole situation xx

I'm almost sure you'll be fine by then 😊

I have a friend who is a midwife, and they encourage a birthing partner.
This whole situation is not ideal but I try to look at it as they are minimising risks for us and our babies! 1 less visitor is less risk to us all.
Try to stay calm, midwives are midwives for a reason. It’s their job to support you and help you they will be there all the way through with you. They are the best people for it anyway they know what they are talking about.
My OH will be useless anyway I’m sure haha.
Best of luck xxx

I was told this week I can have a birthing partner when I have my c section but he can't come on the ward afterwards. I'm due at the end of June and I was hoping things would be better by then but seems unlikely.

Hi I had a baby on 23rd just as lockdown was announced, was only allowed one partner and he wasn't allowed on ward after, such a shame at what's supposed to be a happy time all feels a bit sombre , you'll be fine I'm sure as long as you have your partner for support during labour and birth
