[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confirmed hospitals with no visitor/support person:

NYP
Metropolitan
Mt Sinai
NYU
Greenwich-CT

None of these are in DC. Getting people anxious about a possibility of this doesn’t serve anyone. It just promotes fear and stress during an already stressful time. When DC hospitals adopt these policies, then come back and post and women can prepare. But whipping up hormonal anxious moms to be over a possibility doesn’t really serve anyone. [/quote]

Literally in the first post, op states this is in NYC. If you don't care keep moving.[/quote]

Then she should have specified that in the thread title. Otherwise everyone from DC will click this and it’s gonna cause a ton of unneeded stress.[/quote]

:roll:  you're causing unneeded stress with all this complaining. Things aren't just perfect for this little snowflake  :roll: [/quote]

I’m being sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. It’s something we could do a lot more of in these times, PP, instead of vitriol and nastiness.[/quote]

You are being nasty by continuing to click and comment on a post that clearly has nothing to do with you and that you clearly disapprove of. Just stop. Anyone who clicks will read in the first post where this is happening.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's insensitive. This sticking out heads in the sand is partly what got us in this position. Be aware of what's happening in around you. It's only a matter of time until it happens to you. [/quote]

I’m not sticking my head in the sand. But I’m also not going to allow myself to get whipped up into a potential frenzy over the possibility of something bad like this happening. Would this absolutely suck for any woman who had to experience it? Yes. But do all women need to prepare for this, like it’s an eventuality, or get freaked out by this news? No. They don’t. Just like you need to take every study and covid-19 projection in stride, you need to take the possibility of things in stride. It’s like preparing for covid itself. As a pregnant woman, I’m taking steps to minimize chances I’ll be exposed to it. I’m washing my hands, not going to public areas, etc. just like we all are. But I’m also mentally acknowledging the possibility I could get it. Does this mean I’m devouring every news story, reading up in symptoms, and panicking for no reason? No, because none of that helps anyone and it does not help me. Along the same lines, reading every news story about pregnancy women and covid and freaking myself out about worst case scenarios doesn’t serve me. We are playing the long game folks. This thing is going to be around for a long time. It’s important to do what we can to protect our mental health, otherwise we will wear ourselves down with stress and that depletes our immune system which makes us more susceptible to infection.

I’m sad for you that you are so uncaring that you are saying “this is going to happen to you.” You don’t know me, my health, my due date, my birth plans, or my life. I’m a caring person. I would hope this doesn’t happen to anyone and I’m sorry for the women who will be affected. But being cruel and wishing Awful things to happen to other women is pretty awful, as well as bad karma for you. [/quote]
