Kayleigh's story

I had my second baby in July 2020, I have a girl who is almost 3 years old and my son will be 1 this year.  

I had to attend all my hospital appointments alone and my husband was only allowed to come to the hospital, once I had been induced. 

I got induced with my second baby, and my husband was only allowed in if they could break my waters. If they couldn't I would have been moved to the ward until the next day. When my son was born, he had the cord round his neck three times but luckily the midwife cut it before any damage was done.
