hospital walk through & Pre registration
Just did my hospital walk through and pre registration! I'm surprised with all the questions they asked for pre registering! Things like my religion and if I die what do I want to have happen. As for the walk through, it was a huge sigh of relief for me. I had all my worries and questions answered, they were very nice and informative.
Things I asked
1. How many people are allowed in the room during delivery
2. If I do not want someone there what do I do
3. What to expect for the epideral
4. Is my husband allowed in the room during the epideral
5. When do I tell my babies doctor I do not want her getting specific vaccines until she is a tad older (since I have reactions- I want to spread hers out so if she reacts we know what it was to)
6. Is there any safety features the hospital has to make sure our baby is safe while away from her parents
I hope this give you all an idea of some things to look into before delivery :)
I had other questions but these were important to me

I had other questions but these were important to me
I didn't really get to do the whole hospital tour. But I got to go in the l&d yesterday for 5 hours to monitor my bp. They were gonna induce me yesterday bit they wanted to wait until I turn 37 weeks which is tomorrow so I'll be having my baby Girl tomorrow. I'm also surprised all the questions they ask you when you here in the l&d and are getting hooked up to the machines. I also had a nurse she was really cool but she kept asking me questions that I've already answered. She kept forgetting that I alreadyanswered hher questions lol. She had askedme the same question ffive times and object going her a weird look like are you serious I just told you like 5 times. Lol. I hope I have a better nurse tomorrow.
You don't need an appointment to pre-register and they can inform you if L&D is busy or not. If they aren't they will just send you up for a tour and if they are busy they can get you an appointment set up
Most hospitals ask that you call and schedule an appointment to take a tour just in case you walk in when it's busy. I'm on baby number 3. With first2, I did my tour around 20 weeks
So did you just go in and ask for a tour? I'll be 35 weeks on sunday and have been wanting to do this i just dont know how to go about it.
