I don’t really know if they have specific policies but my partner was allowed to stay up until we got discharged! Xx
I had my mum as my birthing partner and she was allowed to stay until we left the hospital
They allow them to stay the whole time with a pink wristband or whatever colour it is now it was pink when I had my son xx
My partner stayed with me the whole time until I was discharged
My partner stayed with me and switched with my mum the second night so he could get some rest

You are allowed 1 birth partner to stay (they can’t swap with some one else) every one else visiting hours only 😁
Your birthing partners can be with you anytime Other visitors come between 4-7pm
You can have one designated birthing partner stay with you at all times, any extra (say your mum or something) can join when you’re in established labour, and visitors between 4pm and 7pm. I was in for about 30 hours in total and my fiancé was with me the whole time
No they can't make them leave ,but there is visiting times for others ,one one is allowed with you but most of them they don't offer beds for the partners some rooms do ,some don't ,my partner and mum switched several times as we went through 3-4 nurses as my baby didn't not wanna come out 😂🫣
Thank you so much everyone! I have bad anxiety and was panicking that after birth he would have to go home x
My partner stayed the whole time and I had baby Christmas day x
I was kept awake most of the night by someone else’s partner’s snoring while on that ward 🫠
@Lucy I had this too, it was awful! 😂

Possibly I have an unpopular opinion, but the last thing I want is to be bleeding, in pain, feeding my baby when I just gave birth with other males on the ward. It's so uncomfortable, so noisy, unable to rest. I have experienced twice before. I don't like it at all. And my husband went home on both occasions I gave birth, before anyone comes for me. It's the last thing women want is to be in the most vulnerable moments around strangers and other men...
I am going to see if my husband and if baby is all well wants to take baby home with him haha so I can rest up peacefully after my c section. This is not our first and will be bottle feeding so could well be an option if I stay any longer than a night. Hate hospitals all together. Nothing like your own bed and privacy!
@Christie I had a planned c-section in March & was sent home the next day x
Partners are allowed 24/7 in postnatal, other visitors only in visitor hours
