Hospital visit ?

They don’t allow them at all even when you’re in post partum? I know some hospitals don’t allow kids to visit until you are out of labor/delivery/recovery but that really sucks if they don’t allow them at all! I’m sorry 🙁
They are allowing visitors after but they don’t allow kids under 12 and that counts my son! Which I thought siblings were allowed to come visit.
Omg that is awful, I’m so sorry. Did the people directly at the hospital tell you that? What is their reasoning?
@Liz I’m due December 3rd my C-section is scheduled already and I called L&D to ask and they said since it’s the season of flu and Covid they are looking after the little ones. And kids carry germs in many ways . So I understand where they are coming from I’m just sad that I have to leave my 3 year old for 3 or 4 days so I can have his sister. My partner is spending some days with him. My mom is watching him while I’m in the hospital and I know I can call and FaceTime whenever I want to see him. It’s just making me feel guilty.
Oh man, that is tough :( but you can do this mama!! I actually had a mom tell me that she chose not to have her kid (who was around that same age) come visit her in the hospital and instead waited till she was home to introduce the new baby to its sibling and that it worked out great. She recommended doing it that way- I forget her reasons haha. But maybe there will be a silver lining!
Most hospital except siblings from this rule or at least my hospital
