Hospital visits?

This may be a stupid question but are you allowed to visit people in the hospital while pregnant?

My cousin's wife said she was only allowed a 30min visit with her sister when she gave birth because they didn't want her hanging around the hospital. My grandmother is in the hospital right now and I want to visit her but I wanted to make sure it was safe before I go flying in there high-risk with twins. She is in a private room as far as I know.

Yes you can visit her. It can depend on why your grandmother s in the hospital. If she has an infection that can be risky to you or the public. Our hospital had limited visiting during h1n1 season. We discouraged pregnant woman and children from visiting. So there r some circumstances when the hospital will limit visiting and it is for your health and safety. It is flu season so there mine risks to u

Considering a majority of nurses are women who get pregnant from time to time, it is safe.  There are a few different infections or conditions that pregant women should avoid, so just find out ahead of time.  I worked at my hospital job throughout my pregnancy up until I was put on bed rest.  Just use common sense and wash your hands well!
