We have never had anything negative directed towards us as two Mum's, including during the 11 weeks at Mercy with Charlie when he was first born. All the way along, we were both treated as equal parents and both encouraged to care for him.
I'm not sure what we would have done had anything negative been said, particularly when he was so fragile ( as were we !! ) but remember that all medical staff are now actually trained in embracing diversity in their patients, so it would be more unusual than common to have someone say something inappropriate.
Being upfront helps too, even when we aren't always comfortable 'coming out' to everyone we meet, we want to make sure Charlie is never given the impression that there is anything to hide by having two mum's. Unfortunately, this meant the other day telling the fish and chip lady in front of a busy shop that Charlie had two mum's and we were lesbians quite funny now but embarrassing at the time !!
Congratulations again on your pregnancy! When do we get to see a ticker???
