Just wondering... I'll be doing the Prepared Childbirth class with my H next month, but curious about St. Jude's rules regarding how many people are allowed in the delivery room. I'm planning on going natural, but in the event I have to have a C section, I'm wondering if at least my H can be in there with me...
Re: Is anyone going to or have delivered at St. Jude Fullerton?
Thought I would chime in. I am now pregnant with #2 and thought Iwould come back on the boards, but anyway i delivered my son there 14 months ago and will be having #2 there as well. I LOVED St. Jude. They are pretty easy going about the amount of people as long as the Dr. and nurses have enough room for their needs. They have a little area with chairs and a curtain for family. While I was laboring it was a packed house in my room, I have a big family. When it was time to push I had my husband, mom, 2 sisters and grandma in the room. I ended up having to have a c-section and it was my husband who was with me the whole time.
Once you do have the baby whether vaginally or c-section they ask the family to leave for almost 2 hours. They can wait in the waiting area or go get something to eat. They like those first couple hours when the baby is most alert to be in the room with just you and your husband. They call it a babymoon...and it really is very nice. All your emotions and body are coming down and it just allows you to take it all in.
