O.M.G. I'm a NICU nurse and reading the latest post on her blog makes me just laugh and laugh. She's going to be the person that the baby ends up needing to go to the NICU or something and her whole plan is going to get shot to heck in a handbasket.

Re: The art of making a baby chick.
I wonder if she has a legal document giving her H rights during labor.
DH and I decided that my mom would be in the room for the delivery of #2. Well, my labor was so fast that I delivered with 15 mins of walking in the front door. I couldn't have an epi because my contractions were on top of each other. My mom showed up and the nurses would not let her in the door till I said it was okay. DH had to snap me out of it because he knew how much it meant to my mom and they would not allow her in when he said it was okay. They said they had to hear it out of my mouth.
I am sure all hospitals are different, but he may not be able to speak for her.
Her crazy demands? Many of her 'demands' are standard in many hospitals. Her plan is not idiotic or crazy at all. I would rather see someone make informed choices for themselves than just show up at the hospital and blindly go with whatever they are told to do - likely by the very nurses that laugh behind a patients back when they see a birth plan.

I read the comments. I think that some nurse convinced her that not only will they not let her park her fire-hazard bed on the floor, but a hospital room floor is nasty, germy and not exactly somewhere that you'd want to sleep. MRSA, anyone?
