does anyone know if I could keep my toddler with me, my whole hospital visit?

my hospital didn't allow it

@meli2890, what hospital? if she can't be in the room with me, she can be in the waiting room right?

mine let her be in there the hole time

@shannie, what hospital did you deliver at? did you ask ahead of time or just brought her?

Mine didn't but our county has a 24 hr emergency daycare free of charge

Pomona valley.. I had a C-section so maybe that can be a reason why ... i remember my nurse saying that my son couldn't stay just visit yes

rock springs wy mother in law was watching her tell she had to go to work

@meli2890, @shannie oh okay. I have Kaiser. my mom and boyfriend will most likely be in the room with me. so if they watch her she could possibly be in there?

it's so hard with them in there tho my baby daddy watched her but u can't sleep its hard

@shannie, ah really? I don't really have anyone to leave her with and I don't want my boyfriend to miss the birth of our son 😩

that's how I was!! but its a new place an she wanted to touch everything an she was bores in the room how old?

@shannie, she'll be 17 months by the time I'm due. she goes to all my appointments and she can't keep still so I could imagine. I'm hoping she'd be asleep or maybe I can distract her with a phone or her tablet lol. or maybe she can wait in the waiting room and when he's about to come she could come in?

ya I gave her my phone kept her busy for a few an she took a nap she's 3 in October but idk I went fast in delivery an I stayed up tell mother in law picked her up at midnighy

@shannie, I'll just see how things go, thank you

good luck

my baby was in the room the whole time with me. never left my side. his father was with him of course. but I asked before hand and the nurse said if the daddy wasn't there then she would watch him.. (sorry late comment)

@mommy2three_boys, and where'd you deliver at?
