I'm giving birth at virtua Mt Holly in June . We just booked our hospital tour for May. I was just told that the mt holly location makes you share a room with other patients postpartum and wondering if there's a way I can request a private room. I want my husband to be able to sleep over at the hospital for recovery purposes and to be my advocate just incase anything happens. Is he even able to sleep over? I'm worried cause I'm so far into my pregnancy to switch providers

Yesss I did and no didn’t have to share a room😳 I would most def ask for a private room! Yes dad can sleep over praying for a safe delivery 💓

I gave birth at Virtua Mount Holly in Dec 2022 and we all had private postpartum rooms. Unless something has changed since then, no one shared rooms. Truthfully the rooms were too small to even think about getting another hospital bed in there. But it was fine for me and my husband and baby! And yes, my husband slept over no problem, there’s a chair in there for partners that can recline all the way horizontal.
I am pregnant again and also due in June so maybe we will overlap at Mt Holly (from our separate rooms here’s hoping 😅). Did your OB tell you the postpartum rooms are shared? I’d be curious to ask mine as well to see if something’s changed.

thank you so much for your reply!

@Rachel no a friend of mine said she switched to voorhees because she heard you don't get private rooms in mt holly. So I kinda freaked out a bit lol
Thanks for your kind reply! I'm due June 7th! When's your due date?

@Kate omg thank you for your reply! Thats great advice and I'm ordering one now!

I delivered at Mt Holly in October and everything was totally private the whole time!

@Lauren thanks for easing my fears! And congratulations!

I’m due June 3rd!! See you there maybe 🤭

I had my baby in July 2023 and the room was private. I'm having another one may in the same hospital.
