I had an ultrasound at Broome hospital recently. It was an appointment to confirm pregnancy. I had experienced bleeding and cramping in the days and weeks prior, so I was nervous, and of course wanted my partner in the room. Unfortunately due to WACHS protocol they were denied.
I feel this is absolute rubbish. My partner is allowed in the hospital, in the waiting area, but not in the room. I question where the logic is, WACHS. It was very disappointing for both of us. It is their unborn child too, and I believe both parents should be allowed. I feel it is an outdated rule from when covid was 'in it's peak' and I believe should be removed immediately. In my opinion, it is denying fathers/mothers of hopefully what should be precious moments.
