Absolutely abhorrent women are still not allowed partners in the room during childbirth. Even if it slightly increases risk for staff, the psychological fallout is huge. I found it rough just being alone for 5 days at a time with epilepsy complications 4 times, & I’m used to them
Urgh, I’m so sorry. Even my single pals had friends in the room before, I just cannot imagine knowing your partner’s next door, but can’t comfort you or see their baby born? The stress and fear you felt myst have been incredible.
