wha-what are you dad's being banned from
the delivery room that's what's being
done at several New York City hospitals
in the wake of the coronavirus crisis
that means that women will have to give
birth without their loved ones by their
side a time-honored tradition no
husband's no partners allowed at the
most memorable time in the lives of so
many families we understand this will be
difficult for our patients and their
loved ones but we believe this is a
necessary step to promote safety says
New York Presbyterian Hospital a
change.org petition against the move has
nearly three hundred thousand signatures
Hillary fetish just found out today that
her husband will not be able to witness
the birth of their child really talk
about it right now the thought of not
only being their own like the pains the
fear or the emotional weight that ob/gyn
dr. Lisa Masterson says her pregnant
patients are worried but she says
hospitals will be ready the hospitals
are getting ready they're gonna protect
other patients they're gonna protect you
they're gonna protect your baby and they
are putting all these precautions in
place make sure that you go under the
but life goes on for these expectant
moms who continue participating in an
online Lamaze class parents really need
to be surrounded by in-person people
they need care they need connection they
need support they need their village dr.
Masterson has this interesting
prediction with everybody being at home
and reaching out to each other I think
there's going to be a big boom nine
months from now
