Is a hospital tour necessary with a c-section?

Just curious.

It had really kind of slipped my mind until a bit ago but I guess if I am going to do this I should go ahead and get it scheduled.

    check with your hospital.  The hospital I work in has cancelled all of the tours because of H1N1.

    It wont hurt to take a tour to familiarize yourselves with the layout.  W/ a C, you will be in the hospital for 4-5 days so it will benefit your DH more than anything.

    Of course it's a good idea.  All knowledge is good.

    Yes, it sure will. You need to know where to park, check -in, surgery area, where your LO will be, if any problems the NICU, where your family goes to wait, then where the rooms are and cafeteria for your husband.

    I'm not doing it. It's one floor of our hospital, with rooms in it. They're all pretty much the same, and I think I can figure it out.

    I had one important question, and my friend answered it for me - yes, they have wireless, so I can get online...  Smile

    I looked at the website and saw some pics and also saw where my hospital has wireless too.  Yay! :) 

    We've been there a couple of times (not in L&D) for some testing that I had so there are some things we already know.

    Yes, I second the comment about the NICU.  I literally "ignored" that part of the tour..and that was a huge mistake.  Our baby was in the NICU for a month.  I'm not saying your baby will be, but the stress and having it be that much more scary was worse because we didn't know anything.
