CALLS CONTINUE FOR partner restrictions at maternity units across the country to be loosened, and for all units to follow HSE guidance.
The HSE advises allowing partners to accompany women during labour and childbirth. Partners should also be permitted to attend the 20-week scan and other appointments if deemed necessary.
This is the case in many maternity units, however some units have stricter restrictions and activists want partners to be allowed in the room during all stages of labour.
