So last night we had the tour of the Labor and Delivery floor. I have to say, it has taken away some of nerves about the whole ordeal. I would start freaking out when I'd let my mind wander to where we are supposed to go if it's at night and the main door are locked. The hospital is have a lot of construction done, so it's really a cluster-truck trying to get in and out of there are at any time of day. Luckily that's all been spelled out for us now. We saw the labor and birthing room. Scared me. Then she walked us all over to the other side where we will be taken after she gets here. The private rooms are soooo small. About 2 or 3 couples fit in there at a time. Standing there next to the bed, I whispered to Chuck "I hope I don't have to spend any more time in here than necessary. Just standing here I can feel claustrophobia setting in." He agreed. They also have semi-private rooms. The lady said that they fill up the private rooms first then put one at a time into the semi-private until they have to start doubling up. We are pulling for a semi-private. Seriously. Tiny, tiny, tiny room.
At least it put a lot of my fears to rest. Well...except for the whole labor and delivery part! We also saw where women get prepped for a c-section. Yeah I think I got pale walking past that part as well. It's going to be interesting to say the least!!

I was lucky in the fact that I scored a private room both times. Not so lucky in that I also "scored" a c-section both times. Ugh! Hope you have the fortune of avoiding what I couldn't! Just remember, millions of women before you have not only lived through this, but they have done it MORE THAN ONCE!!!!! How bad can it be? Yeah...um...get back to me on that question once you get to the "other side."
The best thing I can offer is to reassure you that the strangest thing happens. Somehow, shortly down the road after you survive labor and delivery, you are overwhelmed with the most bizarre feeling that it was somehow ALL WORTH IT.
Weird, huh?
