I just realized that this baby will be born AT my school. As in, on campus, in the university medical centre where I have tutorials, anatomy lab, and clinical skills.
Yep. I'm most likely doing this at the hospital where I work. It's what all of my coworkers did though, so at least I know the tricks (like a "do not disturb" sign, and telling the nurses no unexpected visitors).

Any other tips? I can use any help I can get here, haha. I know when I have medical appointments with people who teach here, I usually tell them I'm a med student and request that they not allow any of my classmates to participate in my care, but beyond that, I'm not sure what else I should do.

Maybe later on in your pregnancy you can talk to your classmates and discuss how you will be having a lot of family visitors and be resting, possibly breastfeeding and ask them to not come visit you but hat you promise to bring in baby for everyone to oh and aw over once you are settled at home.

I don't know which EMR system you use, but I know from my last job that Epic has a "break the glass" function that you can request that they put on your record. Basically it makes anyone who is looking at your record have to explain why they're doing it. My old hospital/school would routinely do this for students/faculty/staff.

The hospital I'll deliver at uses Oscar and I'm going to have to look up whether that's possible.

My close friend and her husband are currently TTC. She was the friend I ended up telling immediately after my BFP, and that's when she told me they were trying. Since then she has been texting me a ton for advice and with questions (not new for her as I work in the medical field), and I'm finding it so hard to communicate via text without using TB acronyms! I'm like, "did you DTD in your fertile window? You're only 8 DPO so it might be too early to POAS." I gotta get this girl on TB.
I also work at a hospital and the medical residents that rotate through my unit also rotate through the OB unit and we often know them well. I know several of my colleagues have had a sign put on the door that says "no students or residents please". I plan to deliver at our hospital systems community hospital so there should be less people I know there. Good Luck!
