Partners at north tees

Can anyone tell me if partners are allowed to stay overnight at north tees hospital and if so are they only allowed to stay 1 overnight and the rest visiting or can they stay overnight for as long as your in hospital? I'll probably be in for around 5ish days since I'm having a c section

I'm sure I read partners can stay overnight but aren't allowed to leave until the visiting hours next day , must be a safety thing. I might be wrong though x

Your partner can stay with you the whole time you’re in hospital, my partner slept in the bed with me

Partners can stay but I don’t think they like it. There were signs on the postnatal ward saying partners have to stay in the chairs not the bed and not use the bathroom facilities. When I was in none of the partners stayed in my ward except one whose partner had had a c section

Yes partners can stay. When I was in I made my partner go home so he could rest cos I knew I wouldn’t get a good sleep anyway so thought he would be more help to me on a full nights rest. Think there was only one dad who stayed in our joint room of 4 women. Come morning they both look shattered bless them 🙈 I was exhausted too after having a brutal emergency c section but when my partner arrived first thing on the morning I felt he was much more help. Depends on your personal preference but at least you have the option 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

same I sent my fella home it was a long labour and he was there throughout. Made such a difference when he came back next day

Mine did but they have to sleep on chairs
It's not comfortable at all

Just to make this clear for everyone as I’ve just been. Partners can stay but not allowed to leave the ward between 11-6 on a night. They can’t sleep in the bed or the floor has to be the chair but I have more information leaflet wise if anyone would like x

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
