I am currently 7 months pregnant and have a 4-year-old daughter.  I was warned at a prenatal appointment by my provider that area hospitals will probably soon been banning children 12 and under from entering as visitors because of the H1N1 flu.  Can you explain the reasoning behind this and do you think there will be exceptions for children that have been vaccinated?  It is important to me to have my daughter be able to visit her new brother and be with her family in the days after his birth.
