Was watching this with my wife yesterday Firstly the way these women were talking about men was totally disrespectful, as usual on loose women, completely disrespectful to men yet all bang on about we should all be equal blah blah But its an interesting topic and one that infuriated me watching them talk about it So the point being made is should men be able to stay overnight in maternity wards? I do honestly get the point that there are single mothers in there. Also most women will want privacy. I get that But these women were making out dads just fall asleep in the wards treating it like a hotel while they play on their ipads or phones and eat chinese takeaway.... Well for me I think we should get to stay overnight to help with the newborn baby. When my daughter was born my wife was in labour for a really long time. It actually took a lot of hours before a delivery ward was available to go to. My wife then had her. I got to spend an hour at most with her before I got told I had to go home. Id already spent all that length of time supporting my wife, to then briefly meet my daughter and then get thrown out seemed a bit unfair, not to mention it was in the middle of the night the drive home was surreal and also to know id be going back to the hospital 2 or 3 hours later....i didnt see the point...not to mention it was our firstborn my wife was really struggling in the night, obviously she was in a lot of pain and struggling to breastfeed this left her really upset. If i was there I would have been able to comfort her but look after the baby while she slept. Surely that helps the midwives out a bit?! When my son was born again it was a long long wait as my it was an induced labour. I was allowed to stay overnight that night on a chair while we waited for a delivery ward again. Then again when my wife finally gave birth i got about 20 mins with him before I got thrown out again Who knows what will happen this time around? But yeah what are your thoughts? I think men should be allowed to stay with their wife and baby. As long as you have curtains around and your respectful to the surroundings whats the problem But yeah loose women are disgusting to men

No. Not in general.
The nurses/ midwives are there to look after mother and baby. After labour the mothers needs a rest, you normally have time to bond with baby straight after it is born, before they go on to the ward. In special circumstances, if mother or baby are not too well then there are normally single rooms that can accommodate you privately away from the other mothers. If you have been there for a long labour and it’s through the night then an hour or two snooze in the dayroom should do the trick. |

No, I don't think so, it's an unnecessary waste of resources imo. If patients all could have their own rooms then maybe so but hospitals are already stretched

No, there aren't the facilities, if there was a dire need then I'm sure there are provisos for that otherwise no.

No I don’t think so, there are staff to help new mothers, and unless there is a dedicated space fathers/partners would be sitting in chair all night, and the person in the next cubicle might feel uncomfortable about it, there is opportunity to help out during the day, new mothers are only in hospital for one night now unless there is an health issue my response would be a firm no sorry Jake

Over here, the person who gave birth stays (as they are the patient) so I would say no to that

No, because it is a general rule that no visitors are allowed on wards at night time

No rules are there for a reason and it's also a safety procedure I believe

maternity wards are a nightmare at night anyway - the babies all tend to wake each other up crying so if the Dads stayed and were chatting it would be even worse. So no....when I had my son there was a Dad who wanted to stay on the ward (they brought his partner and baby in about 1am) and was kicking off a bit but they soon got rid of him and the Mum was like "thank god for that" after her left He was back at 8am the next morning though

it's what every hospital needs, a crowd of men that turn up to the hospital after celebrating all day down the pub .... fumbling around in the dark trying to find the nearest toilet.
