Allowed, with limits
“You can choose two (2) support people to attend your labor, delivery, and recovery. These are the only visitors allowed in your room.” Kaweah Health Medical Center
Hospital rules change, and the person on shift has the final word. On your tour, ask: Can my photographer or doula take photos during labor and at the birth? Is video allowed, and when? Does a doula count as one of my support people?
Jenn Miller is a birth doula and birth photographer in one person, so she is already in the room when the moments happen, within whatever your hospital allows. Talk with Jenn about your birth.
