Hi Bec

i can understand your problem. What I like to do is talk to mum on her own during booking in or at antenatal classes and discuss this sort of problem. When I find a problem like yours ( and it is quite common) I tell mum to blame me. i tell her to say that the Midwife will only allow the babies father into the labour ward. Have a talk with your Midwife and she what she/he has to say.
