[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone local, due in the next week or gave birth in the last at a hospital and not able to have both your spouse and doula present and willing to share their story? I'm working with a maternal health non-profit who is looking to share stories like this with the media. Also looking for other stories of pregnancy or birth being affected by the COVID19 crisis. You can email me at dmvcovidmaternalhealth@gmail.com[/quote] Local hospitals have not shifted to this yet. To my knowledge, all (or nearly all) of the major hospitals in the DMV area are still allowing one support person during labor and delivery. I know for the hospitals I've heard of here in VA (Stone Springs and Inova facilities), if that support person leaves at any point (say, to check on an older sibling), they are not allowed to return. I pray we don't get so bad here that hospitals start barring support people. I've seen some sad stories from up in NYC this week.[/quote]
