Anyone know if birthing partner still allowed to be with you if you have C-section?

Based in NE UK.

Scheduled or emergency C-Sections, does anyone know if your birthing partner can still accompany you whilst in theatre?

In normal (non pandemic) times, and if procedure is with epidural then yes.

If it's a crash section under a GA, then no, though you can (usually) wait just outside and meet baby asap and remain with baby.

A family member in the SE has been told they still can.

Atm yes. I am having a planned c section on 22nd. Have been told DH can drop me/ bag off and then can come to theatre. Also warned things may change and he might not be allowed at all by then.

Wll trusts are different, check with yours. Ive heard some they have to wait in recovery

Update: had my little boy via EMCS and partner was allowed with me ❤️ he had to leave once I was transferred from recovery to the post natal ward.
Gave birth on Friday 4:05am and was discharged 3pm Saturday x

Congratulations
