It’s hospital dependent so you will need to ask your midwife or someone who has recently been there 😊

Mine allowed for the night x

It depends on the hospital! The ward I was at visiting for Dad was 7am-10pm. But we got plenty of help from the midwife and then went home the next day and he went home and got a bit of sleep ready to help out the next morning

In tunbridge wells you get your own private room and partners are allowed to stay- they either get a gym mat to sleep on or if they’re really lucky - a fold out bed!! But it is hospital dependent xx

We took a blow up camping mat for him to sleep on - Tunbridge Wells.

Depends if your in the ward or delivery room

They can at Pembury, Kent although the first night my partner had a half filled bean bag, second night we moved to different ward and he got a pillow and third night a gym mat 😂 Check with your hospital but I’d definitely recommend having an air bed in the car just in case 😂

Depends on what time you give birth, they can stay with you in delivery suite for 2 hours then you get moved to the ward if its night usually they tell them to go home but if its still visiting hours they can stay but this can vary depending on hospital and which staff are in charge some are more lenient then others x

Thank you all xx
