Partners or support persons will be permitted entry to the Operating room, to be present for birth, unless general anesthetic is required. Most scheduled c-section patients will have a spinal anesthetic, meaning your partner/support person will be able to accompany you. Personal protective equipment, including a gown and mask, will be provided for safety.
