Today The New York Times has reported that hospitals are restricting visitors during child birth. Woman may now have to deliver their babies alone to protect against the spread of the Corona Virus. I'm sure that there isn't one woman that wouldn't do anything to protect herself and her unborn from the Virus BUT there must be a better way.
A woman NEEDS support from a loved one during the birth of a child. It is imperative physically and psychologically that she have aid in that room. I know this because I am a MOM! I delivered my son in an NYC hospital. Having my husband in the room with me made a traumatic situation easy to bear.
NYC hospitals must #findabetterway There are other options to choose from besides this drastic measure. Such as:
- Test the visitor before he/she enters the hospital
- Have him/her enter through a private entrance.
- Have visitor completely protected by a gown, mask & glove
When we allow this disease to take away from an event that's so joyful and precious, we are then loosing our battle against this virus.
