Last night, James and I attended a Labor Tea & Tour at my hospital. Strangely, we weren't served any tea but all was forgiven with thoughtful, individual, Panera Bread meal boxes(!). I've heard a lot of people don't ever get around to attending something like this but I found it super helpful.
It also gave a chance for all the paranoid parents-to-be to get their questions out, which I thought was very entertaining.
Freaked out mom-to-be: "Will I ever be drugged without my knowledge??"
Nurse: "No, no you will not."
Freaked out mom-to-be: "But will they ever give me something without me knowing?"
Super patient nurse: "No, we will never do anything without asking you first."
Freaked out dad-to-be: "Will I ever get kicked out of the room?"
Nurse: "Well, there was this one time that the mom kicked the dad out..." (LOL!)
So, now I'm totally prepared! Yeah... wishful thinking again but I do feel more informed.
