I'm unsure whether the website is up to date for Lewisham postnatal ward. If anyone knows the current visiting guidelines I'd be better grateful!

Also how do you go about requesting a private room?

Many thanks

If it's anything like our local Hospital the private rooms usually go to those most in need.

I had a baby at Lewisham in 2018. Tbh the postnatal ward was quite overcrowded, but that was 5 years ago so obviously things might have changed! I paid for a private room for the second night to get some peace and quiet (I hadn’t slept for a long time….) I just asked the midwives whether there was one free, I don’t know if you can book in advance?

You can usually book them at a cost
