The midwives were excellent on this ward. I was lucky enough to have Audrey as my midwife who really helped me with feeding my baby. As I had a C-section, it was really helpful that my husband could stay the night. I would have had to press the buzzer to call the midwife every time my baby needed anything, as I couldn't even lift him out of his cot. Allowing partners to stay is a great idea and I imagine that it allows the midwives to get on with their work. My only issue was the fact that you are forced to have your curtain around your bed open at night. I did not feel comfortable with being in my bed clothes in a room with 4 other couples who I did not know. I felt especially sorry for one girl who was in the ward for one night, as she was not with anyone and was clearly very uncomfortable with the amount of people in the room with a total lack of privacy. This is the only thing that needs changing, it's not appropriate.
