On Tuesday afternoon Niall Boylan on Classic Hits spoke about the restrictions still in place in Maternity hospitals around the country which mean many fathers to be can only be with their pregnant partner at late labour and birth of their baby. Many parents have expressed their struggle with these restrictions as in some cases women have received bad news about the health of their baby and have had to do this alone. Fathers are not allowed attend scans or be by their partners side until the final moments of birth.
Take a listen back to antenatal educator Sarah Flynn and callers who have had their own experience with the restrictions.
