re: Can you refuse?!?

I read the baby was tested for HIV/Hepatitis as a precautionary for the infant.When I read the article I was under the impression the wrong mother did NOT have HIV.. I wished I could post the link for you guys  

<blockquote><b>Quoting Allison GA:</b>" My son is 11 days old and never left my side in the hospital. I had bedside care only in my birth plan. ... [snip!] ... can refuse anything, it is your child. You may have to sign AMA paperwork, but nobody made a big deal out of it at my hospital."</blockquote>




That is awesome! I am most definitely writing up my wishes and most definitely letting my nurses how I feel with my babygirl leaving.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Two Princesses:</b>" Unless your baby needs NICU, you can absolutely keep her there with you. Good luck.  "</blockquote>




Thank you Hon!! You as well! I most definitely want her with me.unless of course like you say she needs the NICU.

Oh also, I meant to say this earlier. If baby has to go to the nursery for anything most hospitals allow you to dress up the little basinet thing with a blanket of your choice & put clothes of your choice on baby. That can also help identify, Just thought i'd mention it.
