Re: Questions for Hospital Tour
How long on average it takes to get an epi once it is requested. Some hospitals have L&D share an anesthesiologist with other wards, and some have one just for L&D.
The visitation/guest policy.
NICU specifications.
How they manage guests. Does DH have to go get them, or will they call you to confirm they're welcome and then send them down, etc.
I know some hospitals in the area are teaching hospitals. So ask about that, if you are concerned.
Mostly I just went with which place 'felt' the best.
Definitely ask about whether they will feed DH. Beaumont Troy did feed him but it was snacky type stuff (although I could order whatever I wanted and share). Also, ask about lactation consultants, if you want to BF. I know at Beaumont Troy they only have one and she may not always be there.
Good luck!
I didn't ask too many questions on our tour, because they covered any question I went in there with. Our tour was about 1.5 hours, so it went over L&D, PP, NICU, and peds.
I wanted to scope out how many outlets were in the room, and how big the fridge was, so that I knew our laptops and cell phones could charge, and then DH could put meals in the fridge for when he needed.
