Oh no! (SARS/Doula related)

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I have a client 3 days over due, and last night at 10:30pm all the hospitals in Ontario put in effect measures for preventing the spread of SARS. One of the measures is that ONE person is let into the hospital with a laboring mother. :( I have called L&D to ask if it somehow excludes doulas, but she sent me right to the hospital director's line, where I was promptly put into voicemail. :(

I want to help prevent this SARS thing, but not being able to support my client - I don't know who will be more upset, me or her.

Any comments?

Fathers are allowed back on the floor as of 12:30p today. There was almost 24hrs where no one but the laboring mother was allowed on the floor :( It's very scary. Everyone here is wearing masks, and quarantining themselves.
