Whether your birth partner can be present during a caesarean section depends on a variety of factors. Firstly if the surgery is elective or unplanned. Even when it is elective both the anaesthetist and obstetrician need to agree that it is okay for your partner to be present.
When it isn’t suitable for your partner to be present, your midwife will be with you. Your partner will be allowed to see your baby as soon as it is safe after the birth.
