in the states there are no phone rules, i made numerous calls when i was hooked up in intensive care
Firstly good luck.
On the subject of phones, it does seem to matter a lot in certain places in the hospital (Xray/Scanners unit in my experience) as they get really
grumpy with people using them nearby at least in the Newcastle General.
I'm all for the ban if it prevents muppets spending the whole day on the ward shouting 'I'M IN THE HOSPITAL, NO THE HOSPITAL' to
random friends/relatives. Same as on planes, but sadly it's mostly about extracting large amounts of money from the TV/Phone things when people
call in (£1 a minute or something insane).
When I was in the nurses used to disappear off into the toilets with their mobiles on occasion.

Good luck with the baby!
good luck
its a great experience (at least for us guys that don't have the pain)
Well we're in the labour suite now. shes got about an hour and half. 11.15 I think. Then she's going on the drip to bring on contractions! ouch
Ben, My wife had exactly the same process.
It ended with an emergency cisarian after the jiuce they put in her arm made the contractions so strong she asked for an epidural and then couldnt
feel to push.
It will be exhausting for your Mrs, so whenever you get chance, get your head down. She will need as much support as she can get after being induced -
even if it goes well, and you being knackered wont help.
All the best!

ended up on the living room floor
