Just curious as to what the hospitals policy is on taking pictures/video taping the birth of my child?
At the request of our medical staff, use of video and audio equipment is not allowed in the delivery/recovery rooms, operating rooms or the circumcision room while the birth or medical procedure is in progress. However, this equipment is permitted in these areas during labor and after the birth of the baby or completion of the medical procedure. Still photography is not permitted during the actual birth but is permitted before, immediately after or at any other time during the hospital stay. Due to privacy issues for all infants, no pictures may be taken of the baby while in the nursery.
