Hospital Tips For Delivering a Baby During Coronavirus

My wife and I welcomed our baby girl to our family on 3/30, right in the middle of the height of NY's battle with COVID-19. Here are some of the ways we prepared and tips to share before going to the hospital.

1. Get Weekly Hospital Updates From Your GYN

2. Go Prepared For Paperwork

3. Ask a lot of questions, Nothing is off Limits

4. Bring Your Own Food

5. Take Everything Home

   • Ask for more diapers, formula

6. Talk to the Staff

   • Be nice

   • Ask how they are

Bonus - Make Sure Your House Is Staged To Come Home Early

• You will go home early (24-30 hours), make sure your house is prepared for not only the baby but recovery for mom.
