Covid precautions after giving birth?

Question

Not due until the end of January but has anybody talked to their OBGYN about post birth and allowing family members over or not? Obviously friends will be a while but I’m thinking more of my mom and sister and mother-in-law

Answer

Our hospital is allowing two people present for the birth, but after the golden hour one person has to leave. 
Were in Washington state and cases are still pretty high. We will take it very easy with visitors after baby is born and home probably just our parents will be allowed over but only if they're healthy.

Answer

Why would your doctor not be able to give covid precautions? I would talk to my pediatrician or family doctor about this, I haven't been advised on it yet.

Answer

After you go home? It’s your discretion. Your doctor probably won’t be able to give you any advice on that. 
In the hospital likely only your support person will be allowed at all.

Answer

I’m using a birthing center my midwife said my husband and my doula is fine. She informed me for any reason that I may need to go to the hospital I could only have one person

Answer

The father is the only one allowed in with me. But i would imagine they'd let someone else in if father wasn't in the picture.

Answer

One person in the hospital with you. If that person has any symptoms when you show up, you have to pick someone else. No visitors in the hospital. When I go home I plan to only allow very close family and they must be wearing a mask & wash hands. No kissing etc. My brother and sister in law are in college and if they are still on campus I don't think I will let them come for a while.

Answer

My doctor told me when I delivered ( at the end of January) only one person allow at the hospital
