Firstly a huge thank you to every one of you who has signed - we’ve just broken past 450,000 signers!

Right now each NHS trust is interpreting the guidelines in its own way - some NHS trusts allow two birth partners, most allow one. Some allow birth partners and pregnancy scans, many others don’t. If you click here you can see a list of every NHS trust and their latest partner restrictions.

Click on the link and find your trust. If they’re not letting partners into scans, email them to tell them they should! You can tell them 450,000 people think pregnant women should be allowed their birth partners with them at all pregnancy scans and all stages of labour.

The list was put together by volunteers, and is updated twice a week. If you see mistakes or inaccuracies, email hello@jesscelestinedoula.com and they can update it.

We’ve had a huge amount of media, 73 MPs backing our call and hundreds of thousands of you signing the petition. Now we need to show the NHS trusts that support for pregnant women must be a priority.

Thank you!
