Pregnancy-poll poll How useful is the hospital tour? Is it important for hubby to go too? Mine would but he`s starting a new job and doesn`t have much time.
(Pregnancy poll by windchime, 1300 days ago)
It's a waste of time for you AND hubby.
You should go but hubby doesn't need to.
It would be good if both of you went.
It is essential for both of you to go!

I loved going on the tour... we learned a lot about the general procedures that happen, what kind of rooms to expect to labor in, they had a fridge for hubby`s to grab food from, specific area to walk in labor, recovery rooms (what to expect)... it was just really nice to learn what to expect (many of the things I would have never known) so that I could calm my fears. I thought it was great for hubby to go to, cause I know he has his own fears too. Good luck!

I went by myself because my BF couldn`t get off work in time and I didn`t want to post pone the tour any longer because my due date was coming up. I just like to be really prepared so I thought it was informative. I just figured, when I`m in pain, at least I`ll know where to go and what to do. I`m glad I went otherwise we would have had to ask at the front desk which would have just taken longer.

I went and it was really informative and plus you know where things are once you get there. I am really glad I went. My hubby didn`t get to go though but it will be okay cuz he will be with me anyhow and really the only place he needs to know is my room and the cafeteria. LOL Good Luck but I recommend taking the tour especially if the hospital is big.

you dont need it..if anything..your hubby needs it because you will most likely be stuck in bed for the most part as where he will proably be walking around to just get out or get food or whatever. but i didnt have one but once i was there they showed my hubby around and he thought it was helpful

i wouldnt say its completely neccessarry.. but it helped a little. like when it was time to go to the hospital we knew exactly where to go and what to do. i would do it if i were you,, and if you go have hubby go with you, you might be in too much pain to remember or check yourself in or whatever. good luck!

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
