How are VIP births/ Prenatal care different (even people like Naomi Biden)?

You can pay to have your OB travel somewhere with you to give birth, with all the equipment, like Angelina Jolie did when she had her twins.

I had an external version at Georgetown and shared a preop room with a Wizard player and his wife. It was Sept so the entire place was packed with the "holiday babies." She was in there for some complications. The nurses asked before hand if we were going to be ok with it since they were gong to have a lot of people in and out but had no rooms to put them alone. It ended up being the entire day. They were lovely. It has been years and they still send us a birthday card for our child who I ended up delivering rather than flipping.

That’s so nice. A birthday card for someone you met once, I wonder how she manages that.

Are there any secret ways to make a normal persons birth better that we just are unaware we could be paying for? Like nicer hospital rooms etc?

GW has a “VIP” nicer postpartum room that has a mini fridge and a lot more space. Anyone can get it if it’s available, it’s first come first serve and an additional out of pocket charge, I think a few hundred per night.

I gave birth in a hospital room that was built for the president of the hospital when she was pregnant.

It was a single occupant room, large with the couch and a TV.

It was better than the other rooms, but not amazing.

If you want to know what super fancy people can do for birthing, browse for private midwife clinics.

My mom is an OB and has cared for celebrities and celebrity wives. At her hospital there’s a special wing but that’s for all specialties, not just labor and delivery. I think celebrities give birth in the largest room (the room that would be for multiples births like twins) and then after birth they are transferred to celebrity wing. Celebrity wing didn’t have all the machines and tools for labor and delivery but postpartum care can be done there. Most of her celebrities are sports stars wives, but she’s also had movie stars.

Celebrity wing isn’t just because they pay $$$ but it’s also because there can be fans or protestors trying to get in. Labor and Delivery is a secure area with tracking bracelets, but other hospital floors aren’t that secure.

Fascinating, what area is she in?

The richest people don’t leave their homes for birth, the medical providers come to them! Enjoying labor in your home environment and keeping the riff-raff out is the most elitist thing one can do.

Not true. Home birth is dangerous. Most celebrity and billionaire children are still born in hospitals.

I'm guessing this is a hospital in NYC or something?

Kate Middleton herself went to a hospital. As do the Kardashians.

THE celebrity hospital is Cedars-Sinai. Cedars does not have a designated celebrity wing, but it does have multiple suites which allow you to post private security outside.

It's not Cedars-Sinai. Cedars doesn't have a celebrity wing.
