As COVID19 cases rise in the Southern states, we at Rocket City Doulas thought it might be helpful to have a current list of local-ish hospital doula and visitor policies. We will try to edit and add as we get more information. (Keep in mind that visitor policies can change very quickly. Be sure to double-check yourself before committing to a birthing location. We have linked visitor policies if possible.)
Do you know of any that aren’t on the list? Please share them with us so we can add them!
