Visiting Times

The importance of visiting within our maternity hospital cannot be overstated, bringing comfort to women receiving visitors and to those visiting. To accommodate visiting, the health, safety and wellbeing of pregnant women, their babies, the staff in maternity, neonatal unit and in the community is crucial. This remains our absolute priority. Ayrshire Maternity Unit will also support person centred visiting. In some instances some restrictions may need to be applied due to space and clinical activity. In addition to inpatient visiting, the following applies;

• For labour and birth we are welcoming two birthing partners on the labour ward and midwifery suite.
• For an elective caesarean, only one birthing partner can be in maternity theatre.
• For induction of labour, women may be accompanied by one birthing partner on the inpatient ward.
• Women attending outpatient appointments or the assessment unit at Ayrshire Maternity Unit may bring one
  adult to accompany them. They may not be able to enter the treatment or investigation area with you due to space
  and the need to socially distance.
