Wexford man highlights covid struggle as wife forced to suffer miscarriage on her own

A County Wexford father has highlighted the situation of expectant mothers who are having to attend pre birth clinics on their own.

In recent weeks, the HSE has bowed to a campaign to reverse its prohibition on partners of pregnant women attending maternity hospitals for 20-week scans and surgical interventions. Speaking on Morning Mix, Jamie cited his own situation where his wife Rebecca had to go through a miscarriage by herself. Fortunately, the couple tried again and Rebecca is now pregnant for a second time. Jamie says contrary to what he was led to believe, he was told in his wife's current pregnancy he cant attend with her again: [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/jamie.wav"][/audio]
