To be fair she's not due until middle of July! A lot will have changed by then.When someone asked a question about missing being around for after the baby is born, he replied with ‘I have a feeling they’ll be more lenient than people think’. Erm no, Dave. The nhs have put these policies in place to protect mothers and babies. Does he really think they’ll lift their restrictions for him to take care of ‘soph’ when other dads haven’t been allowed. They really think they’re special don’t they?
She's just milking the current situation for sympathy.
I was so anniyed when she said that Dave would be allowed in for the birth but then have to go a few minutes after the baby is born. That is a load of bullshit and could really scare people.
I'm due next week and the rules are birth partners are allowed on the delivery suite. So while in labour and after the baby is born they can be there. You can get discharged straight from the delivery suite if everything is straightforward. It's only if there is a need to stay in on the ward then the birth partner will get sent away.
My sister in law had her baby in lock down 2 weeks ago, my brother was there for labour, the birth and 5 hours after until she was moved to the ward, then he came back the next day to pick her up. They kept her on the delivery suite as long as possible until someone else needed the room so he didn't have to go straight away.
Like usual they have no idea what they are talking about and everything has to be so dramatic for the views and the sympathy.
