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.
