I think this is pretty standard in my experience.

Hope everything goes well for your SIL, .

As for your groan about visiting, i think this is fairly common practice all

over. Certainly all 3 of my local hospitals have this policy.

Seems quite harsh - but there again I can remember being transferred to a

ward during visiting time, after a bad labour with DD (no, actually I spent

2 hrs in an office, on a trolley, first, whilst they tried to find a bed)

(bliss in retrospect!) all I wanted was to sleep, quietly feed etc - and

I had trillions of kids running riot around my bed - just left me a

quivering tearful wreck!

Well I must lead a sheltered life, because I had never heard of this

hospital rule, but I have been informed that apparently it is because of

germs! I can understand it from a overwhelming noisy kids point of view,

but not that my child has more germs than any adult! :-(

Thanks for your replies, still waiting to hear some news - DS is having a

moan in the other room because he doesn't want a fresh nappy on! More

groans!

The hospital where mine were born has this rule too. They also only allow

limited numbers at the bedside, and have quite short hours for anybody other

than the father.

[Lesley]......Having been brought to tears by the noise from other peoples

families at visiting time, I just wish the rule was more strictly enforced!!

[Lesley] DS1 fell over and cut his head in the Mat Unit when he came with

DH to visit me and one day old DS2. I was not allowed to accompany him to

casualty because of 'germs'. 3 weeks later I needed a D & C and took DS2

into hospital with me. This time, I was not allowed into Mat Unit for

supplies because of 'germs'. This was all over 20 yrs ago and the hospital

is now shut.
