GD test and hospital registration

Posted Wednesday, March 26, 2008 9:54 PM

Today I took my GD test, and that stuff isnt so bad, its the after effect of it all. I had a sugar rush, then I crashed. I felt like I had to pass out. I ate a burger, then a popcicle, then some eggs to get my energy back, and that worked. I should get my results back by monday

In between the hour I went to the hospital to register, only took 5 minutes. The receptionist told me to come back at 12 if I wanted the tour, so i was excited for that.

After registering I came home and killed 20 minutes, then went back to have my blood drawn, only 2 viles, then i came back home. At 12 I arrived at the hospital for the tour, it was 6 others mothers and myself. I asked too many questions so I know I irritated some people but this is my baby, another life, so I need to ask questions to make sure im comfortable.

I asked

-Will the baby be in the same room with me at all times?

-How many people can I have in the room?

-Where should I go if I come late at night/early morning?

-Will there be secuirty gps bracelets for the baby?

All the answers were good. Alyssa will be with me at all times unless there are complications. I can have 3 people in labor and delivery and x amount in the post partum unit. I go through the ER if I come ater 8pm and before 7am. YES there are GPS bracelets so no one can take my baby out of the hospital.

This is the same hospital I had Haley at, and its completely remodeled. I didnt have my own l&d room with her I shared it with my cousin! (she was late I was early) so there was no privacy. But this time its different. Theres a bed, couch, flat screen tv, big birthing tub, shower, the works. Same with the post partum unit. Its like a hotel room. Now I feel confident about having Alyssa there. I wish Aaron could have went but he couldnt get out of work. He can just see it when I go into labor.
