How do I make sure the hospital put the right surname on my daughters wrist band and other records…

my hospital wouldn't do it unless we were married hun. it could o ly be changed once she was registered xx

I'll have to insist they don't use my name for anything... @raych

They will automatically put your surname hun, sorry x

@zaralee71, I'll make them change it 😂

Yep they use the moms surname x

I'm not sure they will hun because the baby will be under your name to identify him/her. Mine are called 'baby Perry' when born. I would rather they just called them by their given name though xx

They put it down as the mums name, my friend recently had a baby, the surname was double barrelled but the hospital just put mums name and the dad kicked off thinking she told them to do it 🙈

they have to put yr name as yr the one staying with the baby. it helps to minimise the risk of baby being mixed up with another x

@karenb1601, my partner will be staying with me at all times :) xx

They won't out the father name on as until it's registered its notes are under yours and your name. My baby was in scbu and they had to use my surname. Her red book came with stickers on for that too. It's a security thing too

They will put the mothers name down for identification reasons. Its not a big deal honestly you shouldn't be worrying about it. When baby is registered she can have her fathers name.

Yeah they will put yours because when i had dylan they put 'Dylan Horton' instead of 'Dylan Messenger' which is his surname, they didn't even ask me xx

@leigh-amyxo, my surname is Timmins... Daisy Timmins just makes me cringe! It's such an awful surname xx

don't worry about it too much because when you register the baby you can use your OH surname, dylan has his dad's surname xx

they use your name while in hospital hun Xxx

Yeah, mums surname where I am too. sorry @firsttimemummy21 xx
