The art of making a baby chick.

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.

    Did you see the dress she thinks she's coming home from the hospital in?

    I agree that she's annoying...but I don't see why her birth plan is annoying.  Those were a lot of my wishes as well-although I didn't write a big ol' manifesto about it.

    What a nut! I cant wait to hear how that idiotic birth plan went right out the window! With all her crazy demands--why bother delivering in a hospital?! She should stay at home or go squat in the woods somewhere. Boy, will she have a rude awakening!

    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.

    I love how all the "women have the right to make choices about their own bodies l" stuff ends when it comes to child birth. Why are some women so damn threatened by someone determined to have as few interventions possible?

    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.

    Ok totally misunderstood my comment...I think being informed and knowing what you want is a wonderful thing - a smart thing.  Good for her.  I never called her birth plan idiotic.  My comment was more along the lines of the fact that things don't always go as planned, and she seems like the kind of girl that would completely freak if things don't go her way.  I was in no was wishing her child into the NICU.  Believe me.  I just was wondering aloud what her reaction would be if things don't go her way.  She is SO specific about every little detail that she isn't necessarily going to have control over.    As for nurses "throwing birth plans out the window" that's not fair.  We respect that, but we also are realisitic because we know what can, and often does, happen and our number one priority is the safety of the mom and the baby, even if that means things don't go exactly the way that was planned.

    Ok and maybe I was a little flippant with my wording in the original post....sorry about that.  Not how it was intended.

    I couldn't get past the part where they are bringing a blow up bed for her DH to sleep in AND a tarp to put then bed on. Seriously?

    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?
