Mums-to-be reassured by Kate Marsh, Midwifery Manager at Tommy’s
Questions from mums-to-be about changes on maternity wards and what to expect in hospital answered by Tommy’s midwife
Several Bounty mums-to-be have contacted us to ask what happens in hospital ranging from visitors, staff levels, bottle feeding and the availability of PPE?
Here we answer three popular concerns from Bounty mum-to-be:
Zoe asks:
"What should I bring into hospital if I’m planning to bottle feed my baby and will it be safe to prepare bottles in hospital?”
Maria wants to know:
"Are midwives on maternity wards all being tested for the coronavirus every day and will they all be wearing PPE?”
Lauren asks:
"Are maternity wards running with the usual amount of staff and is access to pain relief the same in the current crisis?"
