Allow Dads to be in with mums during scans and while in labour.
During Covid, allow dads to support mums at each scan. When a woman is in labour, allow her partner to be by her side at all times. Not just when she has dilated a specific measurement.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about visitors are a matter for the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons.
With regard to antenatal appointments, scans, and the birth itself, on 5 June, the NHS’s suspension of hospital visiting was lifted. This means that visiting is now subject to local discretion by trusts and other NHS bodies. You should check with your maternity team and sonography unit for their policy on visitors attending antenatal appointments, including scans.
