hi there, not sure where to post this but hoping someone has advice for me on behalf of my sister. she went into labour at 30 weeks and this was slowed and stopped. her waters have been slowly leaking since then and is now due to be induced tomorrow as she has reached 34 weeks. to complicate things she also has strep b. baby will be in special care for a couple of weeks at least and sis really wants to bf/express milk for this baby. the hospital has told her that they normally allow the mother a bed for 10 days after the birth but that they can only offer her 2 days because they are short staffed. she's really anxious as wants to be with her baby and i tend to agree with her. is this usual to separate mother and baby like this? they have ds1 at home so husband has been focusing on him. can my sister and BIL kick up a stink? what is usual in these situations? What are her rights?
TIA
