Hospital rules ?

[motherknowsbest1]

Hello
Wondering if anyone has had a planned c section recently
I know every hospital is different but I wanted some idea of how it works with covid..
I know I'm allowed my birth partner (DH)
But after the surgery once I'm in a ward I wanted to know if I will be allowed other visitors? Basically wanted to know if my 2 year old will be able to come visit me and the baby.. he's never been away from me for me than a few hours and I'm worried he's going to struggle..

It's all Hospital Trust/health board specific. Your community midwife should be able to tell you. Or should be under "current visiting guidelines " or similar in the hospital's website.

I'm in late 3rd trimester and checking the website v regularly!

It'll be trust dependant. At my trust it's only one adult visitor at a time. No other children allowed in the building. I wasn't allowed to take my new baby outside to meet his big sister either.

I had a planned c section 3 weeks ago.. only my husband could visit, during set visiting hours (and not overnight). My DD was not allowed to visit. I was in 2 nights nights it was hard - although the time does go quite quickly as you are focused on your newborn.
I don't know if different hospitals have different policies, would suggest you ask your hospital specifically. All the best, you will be OK.

Every hospital is different. The rules change daily.

It is arguably better for your toddler to not see you for one or 2 days than to be brought to see you in a Covid-Rich environment, see you with a new baby & then be taken away again. Usually really upset.

Thanks everyone
To be honest I don't really think it's a good idea bringing him into a hospital to see me looking half dead after a surgery and being at risk of covid..
hopefully all goes well and I'll be home the next day to be with him
Besides he's gonna have lots of family around and my husband will go to him as soon as he can
Guess I'm just worrying
