Due Date Club February 2003:Abt the Hospital

2002-12-30

Name: Shannu Hi yall....
I have an imp Question for the US residents...... I'm from NJ and I have not yet decided where I will B delivering... I heard that I do have a choice between St.Peters and JFK.... I am told that our hubbys R not allowed to stay back at night in JFK...SO thinking of choosing Peters... By the by...I wanted to know...Whether we need to have a booking at the Hospital for a particular date so that we get a room without fail. Or is it that we can just go on and get admitted? Do reply to me for this soon.....
All of the Feb mums seems to B real busy... Nobody posting/replying to any messages..... Whats the reason? DO keep the board ALIVE.... Take care all of U... With lots of Love and Prayers....

First of all lots of luck to you since ur big day is around the corner..:-)
And about the room booking in hospital, I asked my hospital and since we don't know when we are going to deliver we can't do that unless it is sechedual delivery. But one thing we can do is that when we are sure that we have real labour pains or water broke & u are going to hospital, you can call & tell them to save a room for u or when u are in labour & delivery section tell ur nurse or husband to go to postpardum area & resewrve a room for u..
Im also concerned about get a single room cuz one of my friend shared a room with black women and it was horrible.. she use to throw bloody napkins & tissues in the bathroom & toilet was always dirty..
Good Luck again :-)

HOw are you? I am not feeling well lately, so have been lazy to write..5 more weeks to go for me..I am really scared/apprehensive, all the pain, etc.

About the hospital stuff, I would suggest you \";Pre-Register\";, this way when you are having contractions all you need to do is go to the hospital, show them your insurance card, and everything will be set.

You can just go and get admitted, there is no need to pre-book a room, because how do you know when the baby will come.

I hope you are doing well...How is your Sugar level?

Please keep in touch.
Lots of Love,
Ritu
