bertineLast night we went on a hospital tour. It was fun and useful. The lady walked us through what would happen, so we know where to park, where to sign in, which elevators to take, etc.
We also got to see the delivery rooms and the entrance to the OR in case we have to have a C-section. They supply balls, if we want to use them, and they have full bathrooms so if I want to have a bath during labor I could (likely). There is also a lot of options for alternative birthing methods but I am not really interested in most of them. It seems like the place is pretty friendly, so that is good.
Then we got a tour of the post-partum rooms. They are all private and have a place for Zach to sleep. The baby sleeps in the room with you and they have lactation people to help you breastfeed. So, basically everything I wanted without having to ask about it.
On the way out Zach asked about bike parking at the hospital. They even have underground bike parking in the ramp, so his bike will be protected if he needs to get it. If I end up getting a C-section and have to stay in the hospital more than two days the plan is he will go home and get his bike so he can go to his classes since they are just on the other side of the river.
Of course, I would rather not have a C-section since walking up our steps would suck (plus many other things).
PS, only three months to go!!!
