recovery rooms

mrs-rogers · October 2009

Does your hospital have private rooms or do you have to share a room after the baby is born? I just found out last night that I will have to share a room. That sucks. The 2 other hospitals im my area have private rooms but they are a little futher than the hospital we are going to. I guess I just assumed it would be private.

My hospital has 4 private rooms and they are first come, first served (based on the time that you give birth). I am really, really hoping to get a private room, even though it costs extra. I hate the thought that in a shared room, DH can't stay the night! WTF? Stupid NYC hospitals. Grrrr...

The rooms at my hospital are private unless there is a huge influx of births, in which case they become shared.

The hospital I'll deliver at ONLY has private rooms. Even triage rooms are all private. The family birthing center is pretty new, so that's how they built it.

I think my hospital has about 16-18 private recovery rooms and about a dozen L&D rooms.

I wouldn't care about sharing if it ends up being one full ward and they have to double up. If it became problematic you could always ask for early discharge.

Mine is all private SUITES....very nice!!! Its like a fancy hotel there. LOL. The Maternity wing is like brand new and gorgeous!

Our hospital has 10 birthing suites, complete with a jacuzzi tub and will let you stay in that room the entire time (labor, delivery and recovery). They do have a few shared rooms, but those are only used after the suites are filled.

I'm hoping it's a slow day when we go into L&D

The hospital when I'm planning on giving birth have private rooms, tiny, but private. You have to pay $350 a night for a normal size private room after you give birth if you want.

Mine has private rooms but if they're swamped for some reason then they have overflow rooms which can sometimes hold 2 people. I am just hoping that it is fairly quiet the day I give birth so that I can stay in my labor,delivery and recovery room, as it is really nice.

Private!! It is such a weird time with a lot going on, I would hate to share a room, but then again, it is usually only 1 or 2 overnights at the most.

All the recovery rooms at my hospital are private. They're fairly new and very nice. They even have double beds for you and DH. They also have a recliner in case you both don't fit comfortably.

The hospital where I delivered DD had some private and some semi-private. C-sections had first priority for the private rooms because they're in the hospital so much longer.

DD was born at around 9:30pm and I was given a semi-private room, but there was no one else in it. So I was alone the first night and then the first day. At about 1 AM the next night, right after I'd nursed DD and put her down for a few hours of sleep, another mother was brought in. The nurses did their best to keep the commotion to a minimum (the woman had a HUGE family present and the nurses made sure that everyone except her DH stayed outside the room), but it still kept me up. I had finally drifted off when she got up to use the bathroom for the first time and passed out on the toilet! So that brought every nurse on the floor running! Luckily, DD slept through it all, but I didn't get much sleep.

It was not the end of the world, but I was definitely ready to get out of there, so we were discharged the next morning, about 36 hours after DD was born.

This time around, I'm going to a different hospital, although not because of that. Semi-private rooms would not be a dealbreaker for me (there are other hospital policies/procedures that are much more important to me), but I'm definitely glad that my new hospital has all private rooms.

private. I could never imagine sharing a room. Do you have to share a bathroom too. You are always exposed after birth and the bleeding is so heavy and it's hard to walk and learn to nurse, you really need privacy.

My hospital only has private rooms, and there are not separate pp rooms.

My hospital provided private rooms.

My hospital has 9 L&D suites and 20 private post-partum rooms. I'm in one of the post-partum rooms now on hospital bedrest. It is very roomy but they haven't upgraded the TVs to flat panels yet like in L&D. Nothing real fancy, those uncomfortable recliner beds for the husbands. They did bring me a foam egg crate mattress topper yesterday for my bed though

There are also 2 operating rooms just for labor and delivery.

My hospital has shared rooms for free(3). Then you can pay for a semi-private (2), or a private room. I am going to go with the private.
