No woman should have to birth Alone

A woman should be allowed to have her birth partner present and be enabled and empowered to practice skin to skin and feed her baby however she chooses.

I think going through child birth is so terrifying you need your partner there for support and it’s also their time to greet their little one coming into the world.

Bordering on barbaric, making women give birth without their partner, in my honest opinion.

Every woman needs her partner beside her while giving birth .

It's another way of taking away people's human rights.

I hope this stops asap

I’m due in August the thought of this gives me major anxiety.

I myself will be giving birth in roughly 6 weeks and couldn’t think of any thing worse than doing it with out a partner

Its a scary time for any woman 2 go threw on there own without that help of some1 they feel comfortable with

And theyve taken gas and air away from hospitals. This is medieval and harsh. Why. ?

Stop taking human rights away. A woman has a right to a birthing partner and the baby has the right to mum and dad

Disgraceful Decision by Mullingar Hospital and it better be reversed ASAP!

Its a fundamental right of the birthing woman to have the support she chooses with her at the birth. It is sickening and inhuman to ban partners.

Absolutely Disgraceful, I know it’s a scarlet time but this is cruel

Currently due in a few weeks and the fear of giving birth alone is causing me alot of stress

Very scary to give birth, special support is needed

It is a disgrace as it doesn't even make any logical sense

This is contrary to all human rights legislation. This kind of declaration has already been struck down around the World and can’t be allowed to stand in Ireland or in any responsible society

Basic human rights being denied
