Dr. Chris Fearne
Partners should be swabbed also with the mother & should be able to join during the hours of labour. The solution for covid19 to delivery isn’t the shortage of time the father is there, but for him to be swabbed! If he is allowed at the ‘pushing’ stage, he can still infect the child, mother & midwife. I think it's super important to include that partner support decreases the pain-fear-tension syndrome, with less risk of physical or psychological complications. Amid the strictest laws being created, most hospitals around EU are still allowing one person in with the mother, they're even calling them a 'Support Person'..  It is mentally unhealthy for a mother to experience child birth pain alone unless wanting to herself. This is a petition for the father to be swabbed as well & be allowed with the mother and experience together the child being born along with the pain & happiness it brings.
