What will be your visiting rules when you get home from the hospital (Re: COVID19)

Question

I’m not due till June, but I’m thinking I’ll let grandparents visit when we get home from the hospital (and have them wash their hands/arms really well) and wear a mask. I’m even talking only blood grandparents, not step grandparents, so it would only be my FIL, MIL, and my mom. None of their spouses.
I’m thinking friends and all other relatives will have to wait till all this dies down before they can visit.. but of course all of this depends on how things are going by then.
So what are you doing regarding visitors after baby is born? And when are you due?

Answer

I’m due May 25th or June 1st (they changed my due date like a month ago but I still think she will be here by the 25th) and I have been thinking about this as well. My mom is a nurse in a psych hospital and it would kill me to not let her see the baby. I am thinking if things are still as crazy then, that I will only allow visitors that have been isolating. If they go out to stores or are still working they will just have to view through the window/video. 😩 such a terrible decision to make but it’s too scary to not be precautious.

Answer

We are due in June too and as of right now absolutely no visitors. If things are much better by June we will reassess our decision but for now it’s better the be safe than sorry. People can visit through the window if they would like but that’s about it🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

As of now nobody except my midwife, not due until sept so well see

Answer

I’m due May 1st ... so realistically, any day now. Unfortunately we are saying NO visitors of any sort. My parents are heartbroken but fully support the decision (they actually mentioned it before we did). They live local so they plan to visit through our sliding door once we are home. It’s honestly fucked up and sad to me... but we are going to have a newborn and this situation needs to be taken seriously. 😔

Answer

I'm due in May, planning a home birth. Unless things get super out of hand before then or someone is sick, my parents, FIL, and SILs will meet her, but this is partially out of necessity. My parents need to come get our dogs and my in laws need to get our son. And then they'll need to bring them back. Probably won't let anyone hold her.

Answer

Just planning my mom and sister. My sister and I will do a big grocery haul a few weeks before I’m being induced then we’ll all stay home until after baby is here. They’re the only grandparent/aunt so it’s easy to set the boundary to only them

Answer

I'm hoping it's over by August....but because neither of us can drive...my mother-in-law will be driving us to and from the birth center. She's been self-isolating and is very conscientious and in excellent health (50 yrs old). 
So she will have limited visits and my mom will as well...she lives on a farm and sees no one ever and is also very healthy and conscientious. Other than that no one...if this state of things continues.

Answer

If this we’re all blown over I’d allow any visitors, if not then I wouldn’t allow any visitor that hasn’t quarantined from everybody. If they haven’t quarantined them ur basically exposed to any person they’ve been around.

Answer

I’m due in August, as of right now my husband and I agreed no one is allowed in our home until social distancing orders have been removed. We live in New York so it is likely that we will still be social distancing come August

Answer

I’m hoping it will have died down by June a d where all back to been able to go see our family I’m due the 5th June so fingers crossed it is x
