A bit much, have your significant other let them know your wishes in advance.
Hospital rules
Anyone else make signs for the hospital door with rules or for unwelcome rude visitors.
So... I’ve been contemplating making a couple signs to go on the hospital door. One with “no kissing, ask before touching, wash hands, do not enter if you are sick.” Etc.
Another to use while I’m resting or just not feeling up to visitors that states we are resting and to call daddy to reschedule a better time to visit.
Not trying to big a huge bitch but some friends of family and some of hubbys family are extremely rude. As far as showing up without calling, kissing babies, just busting up in the room without knocking. That sort of thing. I know this from when SIL had her son not long ago.
I hate to be so rude but ultimately he is my baby and I won’t let you get him sick or invade or privacy during those special moments just to keep from hurting your feelings. 🤷🏻♀️

Doctors and nurses have way too much to worry about to play security for individual patients in my opinion. A L&D Nurse said if you don’t want people there, 1. Don’t tell them you’re in labor. 2. Don’t tell them your room number. In our hospital you have to know the patients name and room number to get into that wing of the hospital. So don’t tell anyone you’re there and you don’t have to worry about unwelcome visitors.
The part of our hospital where labor and delivery is locked off from the outside. People have to be on the visitation list and we can set times of when we will be having visitors. If they aren't on the list or show up when we have no visitors then they can't get in throw the door. I was going to put a sine on our room door with rules. And we plan on putting a post on Facebook of rules. That way no one can say oh well I didn't know. if someone doesn't follow the rules we can have them removed from our room and they will have to leave that part of the hospital.
Does your hospital not have a check in place for visitors?? Any visitors at mine had to check in with a photo ID and they would call back to me to get the OK to send them back or tell them I’m not accepting visitors. If your hospital doesn’t have a check in for visitors, I’d let the nurses know when you’re not wanting visitors and maybe use a do not disturb sign. All the rest seems excessive. You can ask people to wash their hands and such when they are visiting.
