Some questions to ask?


This is my 2nd pregnancy. I will not b delivering n the same hospital. The last hospital I delivered n was private. I did't know what 2 expect.
Here is the list I have so far 2 ask the nurses in labor & delivery. Any suggestions r welcome.

Will there b sleeping accommodations 4 my husband 2 stay in the room w/ me? Last time he needed a pillow.
Will the hospital provide diapers? What else do they provide 4 the baby?
Am I sent home w/ a diaper bag & a breast pump?
Is there a Jacuzzi 2 relax n during labor & should I bring swim trunks 2 my husband? Not silly, the last hospital had 1 & we didn't have swim trunks. It was weird 4 him 2 just sit on the side.
How often do the nurses check n the room when baby stays w/ me? Will they wake me up 2 ask questions or can they refer 2 a feeding chart I keep w/o disturbing us?
Visiting hours?
Is cell service allowed/work?
R boys circumcised b4 we go home?
What is n my going home kit; Ice-pack pads, Gel nipple pads, Pain relief spray, peri-bottle?

This hospital has no brochure. The website has nothing. I have to visit with the nurses in Labor & Delivery this afternoon to ask.
BTW I'm not greedy, but if the hospital provides some of these things, why should I waste money?

you should tour the maternity ward and they will answer all of these questions for you. good luck.

wow, sounds like you are staying at the Hilton, not the hospital. Bring the stuff you are not sure they provide, if you don't get free stuff, don't worry, it makes you look greedy.

I would just ask for a brochure of the services available or check their website, then if you have any questions ask.

Or possibly take a tour of the hospital and ask the questions of the tour guide giver?

As for most of the things you're asking if they provide... I would just pack them and bring them along this time.

But I might steal some of those questions for my own tour. Thanks!

Most hospitals provide a bed/pillow and also food for the daddy too. I'm not too sure about jacuzzi and stuff although that sounds nice. And each hospital have their own stuff to give out to your for free. My hospital gave the baby DiaperBag, extra diapers, coupons, 2 bottles, pacifier, Tshirts. And I'm sure the breast pump you gotta get your own.
