3rd Trimester

Kids visiting in hospitals

Have the restricted visiting rules been lifted everywhere or just here?

I was so excited on our tour to find out that the boys (12, 9, 7yo) can visit their little brother in the hospital.  I hadn't heard that the restrictions had gone back to normal.

(Of course, XH still won't let them visit if it's on his time...)

Re: Kids visiting in hospitals

  • My hospital isn't allowing anyone under the age of 18 to visit.

    Evelyn (3.24.10), Graham (5.30.13) & Miles (8.28.16)
  • I just asked yesterday and the restriction is still in place, but I did find out that my 9 year old stepson can visit, but once he visits LO cannot go back to the nursery, he has to stay in our suit unitl we are discharged.  So we will probaly let SS come on day 2.

  • Our hospital never had any restrictions.  My sister just had her baby last week and her 2 other kids (age 4 & 2) were the first ones there to visit (granted my mom and me brought them in, so we were there too......).

  • As of last week my hosp isn't allowing anyone under 18 visit. :( I am hoping that they lift it before the 14th!
  • Still under restriction here.  The website says "until the end of flu season."  I don't know when that is, but hope it is before I deliver at the end of March.  DS has special needs and will have a really hard time with not seeing me for up to 4 days (if I have a c-section again).

  • My doctor told me that anyone under the age of 18 will not be allowed in the maternity ward at all! So my two daughters will not be able to see their little sister until I get home Sad
  • For our hospital, siblings are allowed.  No one else under the age of 18.
  • Nobody under 18 on the maternity floor at my hospital.  Also all visitors have to go through a screening for temperature and a questionaire before they are allowed to enter.  They give them a bracelet that is good for 24 hours.

  • Our hospital lifted the limited visitors policy last week.  Now dd will get to come to the hospital and visit her little brother!  :) YEAH!!!
  • still no one under the age of 18 is allowed to visit
  • It depends on the hospital.  My hospital only allow children under age of 12 if they are siblings of the newborn.  Otherwise, no children under the age of 15.  
  • Ours still has restrictions. No one under 12.

    But, I was at the hospital last night and the nurse told me that depending on if there is a bleeding heart on staff that day/night they might let DS come up for about 15 minutes to say hi to mom and see the baby...but since he's only 3 she doesn't recommend it since it's hard to tell a 3 year old they have to leave after only 15 minutes.

    This.. siblings are allowed if they're 14+ though.

  • Ours has restricted visitors to the grandparents of the baby only.  No other visitors.  My 30 yr old sister that still lives at home with my parents (she is Williams Syndrome - similar to Down's) isn't even allowed to visit.  She is so bummed and keeps asking me to do something about it.  I can't.
