Winthrop's visitor policy

Are they strict with the two at a time rule that is posted on their website? I have visited others in different hospitals with a similar policy but it wasn't enforced.

Not really! I had about 5 or 6 people in my room last time i gave birth. I personally do wish they enforced it though. I hate being all crowded and some people who have been there for a long time just wont leave to give more space.

i was in a private room - so no. i had like 10 people at once.

if you are in a double (and there is a roomate) there isnt much room for more than 2-3

Everyone gets a private room now unless there are a lot of births and they can't accommodate everyone.

Just had my cs in June and they weren't at all strict. I had so many people (DH's side) that I asked the nurse to pretend to have to do something so they would leave. Worked like a charm Chat Icon

Yes, exactly. The only time they double you up is if there are a lot of births and they can't give you a private room. On our tour the nurse told us they will keep you in L&D for a bit as your private room until something private opens up on the maternity floor.
