kristinem17 · December 2009

Hey Ladies -

Please help me out - need some advise on what to ask/look for when we do our L & D tour this coming Saturday.

TIA

This is the list of questions I got the other day:

Can I play music?

What is the visitor policy during labor, does it change PP?

Can I eat during labor/ food supplied, or get your own?

Is an IV required if you do not get an epi?

Typical routine after baby is delivered?

Will there be nursing students assiting?

How long is normal PP stay?

Internet/cell phone policy?

Move around during labor/ tub/ birthing ball?

Good questions.. I will be borrowing those!

When should I do the tour?!?! I know I am a youngster on the 3rd tri board... Just seems like everyone is doing it about now.

I'm going tomorrow night. Our hospital offers the tours every Tuesday.

*slips in from 2nd tri*

i did my tour last week but it was part of my L&D Class at the hospital i'm delivering at. i found it nice because i have time to think of questions i forgot & can always call the department to ask.
