What are the chances of getting mrsa in a hopsital while you're there to have a baby?

Varies...: ...From region to region, state to state. Your hospital should have that information, as should your state regulatory agency. As a general rule, though, that risk is pretty small; the obstetricians and nurses all wear sterile gowns and maintain scrupulous sterile technique for the specific purpose of preventing any infections, including mrsa.

Less than outside: At least in the hospital they pay attention to infection control. The MRSA staph are around us in our daily lives.They represent 70% of the pustules acquires by patients presenting to office clinics.Whether it is the supermarket cart or the doorknob at home, it is around us.Good hand washing & personal hygiene are important for everyone.I'd worry more about getting enough sleep for the job ahead
