Who
and When can you visit in the OB Department at Veterans Memorial
Hospital?
Posted 17 February
2010
By Diane Allison, RN, Maternity Services Supervisor
When a baby is born everyone is so excited. All of your family
and friends want to visit as soon as possible to see this new little
person that has taken nine long months to make an entrance.
What we do need to remember, however, is that along with this new
addition to the family comes fatigue and loss of sleep from a long
labor, questions on how to feed and take care of this precious little
baby and how to continue to care for them at home after being
discharged from the hospital.
The usual hospital stay after a delivery is 48 hours. This is not a
great amount of time to catch up on rest, learn how to care for a new
baby and to complete the mounds of paper work that needs to be done
before you take your baby home. That is why we ask the community
to follow the visiting hours at Veterans Memorial Hospital.
Visiting hours in the OB department are from 2:00 to 4:00 PM and from
7:00 to 8:30 PM daily. All visitors are welcome but ONLY during
these hours. (Ex: new baby’s aunts, uncles and friends, etc.)
At all other times of the day the entrance door to the OB department
will be locked to assure the safety and security of our patients and to
be aware of the flow of people in and out of the department.
During locked hours the new baby’s father, grandparents, brothers and
sisters are the only people allowed to visit. They will use an
access code specifically for them to enter the department.
When babies are born they have an immature immune system. We want
to give them a healthy start in life. We ask that during this
influenza and H1N1 season, if you have any flu or cold symptoms please
take care of yourself. Call and congratulate the new parents over
the phone and visit the new baby and parents later at home, when you
are feeling better.
We appreciate your cooperation in following the Maternity Services
visiting hours. If you have any questions, please contact me at
568-3411.
