Partners

During the induction of labour, one partner can stay overnight to support the mother.

Following the birth, one partner can stay overnight, this is to support the mother and baby and promote family bonding.

A recliner chair is provided for the partner overnight. We ask that partners do not sleep in the hospital bed, because of the weight limit and infection control risk.

Partners who stay overnight must remain fully clothed at all times.
