Singleton Hospital

Labour Ward / Bay Birth Unit

Two birthing partners are welcome to provide continuous support throughout labour (24 hours).  You’re encouraged to bring your own refreshments, and there will be access to the canteen and coffee shop during certain hours throughout the day.

We ask that birthing partners remain consistent and do not swap during this time for the safety of your partner and other women receiving care from our teams.

Caesarean Birth (planned or unplanned)

One birth partner is welcome to accompany the woman or birthing person into theatre.

Following birth, partners may stay for up to two hours or until transfer to the postnatal ward, where visiting hours will then apply.

Postnatal Ward (Ward 20)

One birthing partner is welcome between 10am and 10pm.

Visiting (including siblings) is welcome during:

  • 2pm to 4pm
  • 6pm to 8pm

A maximum of two visitors per bed is permitted at any time.

Only siblings of the baby are permitted; other children will not be allowed to visit.

If additional support is needed outside of these hours, please speak with your community midwife or the ward manager. We are here to support your individual needs.

Neath Port Talbot Birth Centre

Two birthing partners are welcome to support throughout labour (24 hours).  You’re encouraged to bring your own refreshments, and there will be access to the canteen and coffee shop during certain hours throughout the day.

Siblings may visit after the birth if parents wish, and we understand that a family member may accompany them.

To ensure a safe, calm and peaceful environment, no more than two visitors at a time are permitted.
