Hospitals no longer allowing partners or support people

[Anonymous]

NYC hospitals are no longer allowing partners, doulas, or anyone in labor and delivery. No support or partners allowed in postpartum either. Indications and csections are cancelled for now.

We are supposed to labor and deliver alone.


This just sucks in so many ways.

Since when? A good friend lives in NY and she posted today that she’s glad she’s still allowed her husband AND doula next week when she’s being induced.

They made the call at NYP last night, called patients this morning. NYU and others are set to follow this week.

It’s just the NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals, not all of them.

As of last week partners or grandparents were allowed. Most hospitals put a ban on doulas last week.

By the end of the week. It will be all of them. We called to transfer and were told to go to CT or NJ bc it didn't make sense since they were shifting within the week too

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. Just chill.

How exactly can they justify cancelling a medically necessary c section???
That's terrifying.

Not jumping to conclusions. I called to transfer to several hospitals and was told the same exact thing. Try Greenwich or Jersey City.

I was told bc I wasn't having complications it was considered an elective surgery.

They aren’t cancelling emergent c-sections, only elective.

My father who is 93 was hospitalized for internal bleeding today near Albany NY. His care manager was not allowed to stay with him or even go into the ER with him. He has memory issues and we are concerned for him.

They do not have any confirmed coronavirus patients. I bet this new hospital rule of patients only will become true for all hospitals in a week or two.

Why the hell are people having elective c-sections anyways?!?

People who needed emergency csections and having a scheduled csection for their 2nd kid.
