Maternity hospital restrictions

All through the pandemic there have been strict maternity hospital restrictions in place.

Although the need for safety is understandable, they are having a major impact on expectant parents.

This morning on Dublin Talks we spoke to Niamh. Sadly, Niamh suffered a miscarriage last week.

Having driven the long journey to the hospital alone she was given the heartbreaking news.

Once back in the car, she couldn't bring herself to ring her husband at home with the kids. She couldn't get the words out.

Niamh ended up having to text him the awful news and face the journey home alone.
