What should I ask?

We have our hospital tour later today, but I'm wondering what questions I should ask. I never asked any questions when I went to the hospital visitwhile pregnant with my daughter becsbecause I didn't need to really worry about anything since I had tons of family. Now that it's just my husband, daughter and I I have no clue what to ask! Help me?

When I pre-register, they give me a packet that answers a lot of questions I might have.

I'm planning on asking a few questions when I pre-register. Like, Is any outside food allowed? (I hate hospital food.), How many visitors can be in my room at the same time? Can I bring my own baby blankets? Do you have pull out beds for my husband to sleep on? How long have you had your anesthesiologists and are they students or actual professionals? How young can the visitors be? That's all I have for now, but I'm sure I'll have more in the next couple of weeks.

Ask what their policy is on interns and student nurses. Personally I don't want any of those in my room. I know they're learning but they usually just walk in and out constantly and stick there noses in things. Like 5 if them watching one more of them TRY to stick an iv in. Pain in the a$$.

The most common questions I'm asked by new mom's are: what are the visiting hours? Will I be able to keep the baby in my room after delivery so me and my spouse can have some bonding time as a new family? Can the baby stay in my room if I stay overnight or does he/she need to spend the night in the nursery? do I have to keep my baby in the hospital clothes or can I put them in their own clothes?
