• Patients may continue to have two support people in labor and postpartum.
• The second support person can stay in the hospital throughout labor, and then come and go during visiting hours after delivery.
• After delivery, additional visitors (only 2 at a time) may visit during visiting hours from 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.
• Siblings of the baby may come to visit.  All other visitors must be at least 16 years old.
• Visitors are only allowed after the patient has completed the recovery process (at least 2 hours after delivery).  Your nurse will guide you as to when this time is, so you can let your visitors know.
• For the health of patients and staff, we ask visitors who are unwell, especially with respiratory symptoms, to refrain from visiting.
• Visitor policies are subject to change depending on high community rates of Influenza, COVID, and RSV.

To ensure that that your wishes are followed during labor and delivery, be sure to discuss pain control options with your doctor or nurse midwife.

The State of Connecticut requires that a birth certificate be completed prior to discharge. A staff member, from Medical Records, will visit you in the hospital to gather the information needed. Medical Records can also help you obtain a social security number for your baby.

You, your baby, and partner/support person will be banded with matching identification bracelets. The bracelets serve for security and identification purposes only.

We will provide you with ice chips and fluids for comfort during labor. You may want to bring other personal items to help you through labor.

You may want to consider bringing a nightgown and bathrobe, shampoo and toiletries and a pacifier for your new baby, if you plan on using one. You should also bring clothes for your baby for when you go home, including undershirt, outfit, hat and, depending on the weather, a sweater and/or bunting with feet.

Make sure you have a car seat to take your baby home in and have it available at the time of discharge. Please familiarize yourself with it and try it in your car ahead of time because our nurses are not able to put the seat in your car.  Your local police department may be able to help you learn to properly install your car seat.

On the day of your delivery you will have the opportunity to speak with your anesthesia provider about pain management options.
