The restrictions have been in place since the beginning of the corona pandemic.
In order not to risk the spread of infection, the woman alone visits specialist maternity care, and ultrasound examinations.
- This is a way to protect our pregnant women, who only through their pregnancy are at risk of getting a much more difficult disease picture if they suffer from covid-19, says Gill Kullberg, operations manager at the women's clinic in Region Örebro County.
There are exceptions
But in some cases exceptions are made.
- For example, when you come on a return visit after a complicated delivery.
Where you may need to have your partner with you, says Gill Kullberg.
Today, there is the opportunity for the pregnant woman to have a video call with her partner during the ultrasound examination. She is also allowed to film during the visit.
