Birth Partners and Visitors

The birth of a baby is an exciting time for mothers and their birth partners, and the staff at Overlook Medical Center wants to make it as comfortable as possible for both of you.

Complimentary snacks are available in both Labor and Delivery and the Mother Baby Unit. You'll find juice, soda, crackers, cookies, cereal, coffee and tea. A morning breakfast cart offers muffins, bagels and coffee. The cafeteria on the fourth floor is open from 6:30 to 10:30am, 11:00am to 2:30pm and 4:30 to 7:00pm every day. Donna's Café, located in the lobby, is open from 6:30am to 8:30pm Monday through Friday and 9:00am to 5:00pm on weekends. Vending machines are located across from the elevators on the sixth floor, as well as on the fourth floor by the cafeteria.

Guest trays can be ordered for partners for a minimal charge. Please ask your nurse for guest tray information. For a nominal fee, you can also treat yourself to a gourmet meal to celebrate your new arrival. This menu is available from our dietary services.

Pull-out beds are available on a first-come, first-served basis in private rooms for partners who wish to spend the night. Semi-private rooms do not have this option. Please wear appropriate attire at all times. Showers are available in private rooms.

Other Amenities

Disposable cameras and other small items you may have forgotten are available for purchase in the gift shop on the fifth floor off the lobby.
The ATM is on the fifth floor across the lobby.
Cell phones are allowed in your room or in the waiting room. They are not allowed in the recovery room or hallways. Please keep in mind privacy issues regarding your partner and the other patients.
Wireless access

Visitors
Visitors are welcome between the hours of 11:00am and 8:00pm. Siblings of the new baby are welcome, but other children under the age of 12 are not permitted to visit. If the mother had a Cesarean Section, children are not allowed in the recovery room. If anyone has been ill, please ask him or her to refrain from visiting. All visitors need to sign in at the nurses’ station, and hand washing is a must for everyone. Mothers benefit the most when there is quiet time for them to rest and feed their babies.

We would like you to have a wonderful birth experience. If there are people you’d like to be a part of this experience, please let us know. Likewise, if there are people you do not want to be part of this experience, let us know.
