So the recovery room doors are clear glass

I went for a hospital tour last week (it's a brand new hospital) and the doors to the rooms are clear glass - I could see the people, their babies, their stuff and what they were watching on TV. 

The bathroom door is frosted glass - but you wouldn't want to be in there when you have a visitor nor would the visitor want to use it.

 I just found this very odd.  My previous babies were delivered with a solid door.  I asked and the tour guide just said it was for an open feeling . . . 

Hello - there is breastfeeding and breakdowns trying to change a little diaper - I wouldn't want everyone watching my every move!  Plus tours walking by on the weekends - what about privacy!! 

There are not blinds or anything.  There is a curtian you can pull around your bed, but you can still see in and that cuts the room in 1/2 . . . 

Now the NICU was cool because it's private rooms and I get why there is glass there.  But this was the regular rooms . . . bizzare!  I'm thinking of giving a show to the tours if I'm there on a weekend so they hang up some blind for future mamas ; p

    Oh, my- I would not be okay with this. I'm all for an open, airy feeling, but really, after giving birth I want to feel like I have my little space all to myself with my baby!

    My mom went to a counseling appointment in a new building and that's how it was there. Glass rooms where you need privacy. She doesn't go there anymore because of it. They told her it was a new open concept. So weird!!!

    I would take a large bedsheet or curtain and drape it over the door if I were you.

    That is so weird...I'd be so uncomfortable.  What about when the nurses are checking you out down there, is the whole world supposed to watch them do that?!
