I dont think it should be an issue but you need to ask the hospital/ midwife

I think your midwife will know. I think (in my case) partner is only allowed when in active labour (due to COVID), so if you end up being induced, you may have to do the first bit on your own, but your midwife will know the rules for your local hospital and with age restrictions. Best of luck...not long to go now!
