Visitors after your baby is born

After your baby is born, friends and family may want to visit and meet your baby. Visitors should not be allowed except for medical purposes. This can be very difficult, but it is important to keep your family safe. You can help celebrate the birth of your new baby by having virtual visits and using online tools. Eventually, family and friends will be able to visit, hold, and embrace you and your baby in person - try to remember that this is temporary and physical distancing is the best way right now to protect your family from COVID-19.

Mental Health

Parenting during COVID-19 can be challenging, and pregnant/postpartum women are at a higher risk of mental health issues. During this time, these risks may be even higher, and you may not have access to the support and resources you typically would. Parents are encouraged to reach out to family, friends, community supports and their health care provider during this difficult time to talk about their mental health.
