stands for unmarried or single mother status.
i was told today that all single mothers here are referred to social care after delivering their baby. They're also not allowed to leave hospital with their babies unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. It doesn't matter how old they are, they're not allowed to go home with their baby on their own or with their unmarried partner, unless a parent or legal guardian comes along.
It's to safeguard the baby and mother's welfare, so they say.

Regardless of age?? What if she's like a 30-year-old unmarried Mum who no longer has "guardians"?
Ish.
