My husband has recently been arrested and we are awaiting devices being searched. I am currently pregnant and unsure what the next steps are and wondered if anyone had any stories they could share of similar situations. Has anyone been able to have their partner at the birth etc? We have meetings booked with child services so hopefully will know more soon. I am unsure what the future holds for our relationship and my baby will always come first.

Hi Tangle, I'm so sorry to know that you are going through such a difficult time. To answer your question, my son was allowed to be at the birth of his baby. The safeguarding lead was consulted with and a risk assessment needed to be completed in preparation for the birth.

Hello.

I rarely come on here but wanted to respond as my partner was arrested when I was 8 months pregnant.
I was allowed him at the birth, and to stay for two hours after but we did need a supervisor which was my mum. We were at the beginning of the process and so restrictions were a lot stricter I think than it we'd been at the sentencing end.
Get it in writing and get a clear plan but it's not impossible for them to be there x
