Tonight, my good friend Esther and I (and our hubbies and kids) are touring the newly remodeled Family Birth Center at Unity hospital in Fridley where we will be delivering, (she is due a month behind me). From what I remember, the actual L&D (labor and delivery) was super nice and huge. It had a rocking chair, a pull-out bed, a full bathroom with a tub etc. It even had a TV. The problem is, we spent most our time in the family centered care unit down the hall which had cramped, oddly shaped rooms, no hot water, and an old tv with a vhs player. We were definitely less than impressed with those rooms. I am HOPING that they remodeled these as well...
When I am laying in bed pushing out a baby I do not care how big or fancy the L&D room is, or if it has a flat screen TV. Last time around, most of the laboring I did was spent in the skyway walking back and forth. Then I went back to the room, got the epi and Matt and I watched Ferris Buehler on his laptop until it was time to push. I am hoping for a similar experience, just with a different movie. I may try to labor at home a little longer too.
Regardless, I am excited about the tour and am getting totally psyched up for the birth to happen in general. Six more weeks. Woo Hoo!!
Lovies,
Catherine
