Gov. Andrew Cuomo will issue an executive order to ensure that pregnant women in New York do not labor alone.
Both the private hospital systems that had instituted the no-visitor policies said they intended to comply with the order.
“We will comply with the Executive Order regarding visitors for obstetric patients, effective immediately,” New York-Presbyterian said in a statement Saturday. “Our highest priority continues to be the safety and well-being of our patients, their families, and our staff.” Last Sunday, New York-Presbyterian became the first hospital system to bar partners and other support people from a labor and delivery unit.
Mount Sinai, which had issued its policy Monday, said in a statement Saturday: “In partnership with New York State, effective today, we will permit one healthy partner to join the expectant mother for labor and delivery. We have always — and will always — make these difficult decisions with the best of intentions and safety of the mother, baby and our staff as our guiding principle.”Many women who would have been affected by the policies expressed fear at the prospect of giving birth alone.
Evidence shows that having continuous support throughout labor is beneficial to women’s health and lowers the risk of complications.
