I wouldn't have my baby in Hamed. I have heard lots of scary things about it. One of my friends was slapped by the nurse for making too much noise and another was given a laxative without her knowledge which was very difficult for her while in labour at the time and being in the bathroom because of the laxative.
Female companions are not allowed in either. The people who say they were allowed in must be lucky. All my friends have never been allowed anyone female or otherwise into the delivery room, during labour or delivery.
I always go back to the UK for my children's births but if I was to have one here I would go to Al Ahli Hospital or Al Emadi which are private but my husband would be allowed in even though the cost is about 6000 riyals. anyone who has been to these private hospitals has had a good experience.
Saying this, Hamed Pediatric department is excellent otherwise. I just dont understand the rules they have for labour and delivery
