Visitors & Hours

Visiting Guildines During Labor

You may find labor less stressful with the comfort and encouragement of friends and family. Depending on your stage of labor and your comfort level, visitors may be asked to wait in the waiting room. You are allowed 5 visitors for the actual delivery. Determine who you want present for the birth of your baby and share this with the Women's Unit staff upon admission. This will eliminate hard feelings and confusion at the time of the delivery of the baby. No children under the age of 12 are allowed in the Mother & Baby Unit at anytime unless they are a sibling of the newborn. Once you begin the pushing stage we ask that there be no more visitors entering or leaving the room.

Other visitors and family may make short visits during your labor, but they must remain in your room or in the waiting room (not in hallways, please). If you need help limiting your visitors, please ask your nurse for assistance.

Visiting Guildines During Delivery

As we always encourage family & friends to come & share the joy of your new baby, we ask that they abide by the visiting guidelines. No children under 12 years of age unless they are siblings of the newborn. We do ask that these children be free of any sickness. Also to help us with the safety of our infants, we ask that there only be 5 visitors at a time in your room.
