I have no rights

I have no rightsWhilst the team at middlemore hospital NZ are the best the underlying feeling that pregnancy and having children is a woman’s world is still relevant and very upsetting. As it came to the 4th day of being in the hospital and baby’s first day with a very tired partner and a very hungry baby it was vital for me to be there to help in any way possible and Very important to me. Because of rules that state if you are in a shared room may I add parted by curtains and around a 7 foot gap between the curtains I was unable to stay past 8pm because men are not permitted to stay in a shared room, absolutely not acceptable if you ask me and if we was aware of this we would have definitely asked for a single room as the labour was so long my parter was going to be exhausted and need me there for support. This was so upsetting for us all and I won’t forgive the inhuman attitude towards me because I’m a man and that automatically means I am a threat to a woman or child! This needs to change I can not stress this enough.Has anyone ever had this happen to them? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2wbsJsz
