[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had one of those signs (in 2019) and it was entirely ignored, both by my regular care team of nurses and by the random male OB who did not work with me during labor but wanted to pop by and tell me he reviewed my chart (thanks?) and walked right past the sign on my closed door without even a knock to give me this news while I was topless trying to figure out breastfeeding.

So, y'know, good luck.[/quote]

And people wonder why women are choosing home births.[/quote]

I am that PP and no, it did not and would not drive me to home birth.  It just irritated me and is worth OP knowing if she's planning to rely on this signage to get some kind of restful PP retreat.

GW is a very busy hospital with a lot of constant commotion [i]and[/i] very good outcomes for mothers and babies alike.  Know the good and bad going in.[/quote]

I am sticking with GW as I trust their care, home births are not for me I am grateful science had advanced that we don't have to bleed to death at home.

Good to know the sign might not be noted, will prepare myself and be sure to set the expectation with my nurse. For 2 days its not the end of the world. [/quote]

I'm the 2019 PP, but I just realized that I misread your OP.  I did *not* have (or need) a sign during L&D, and I was not really bothered at that time.  I was induced, was there for 48+ hours before things finally got moving, and it was fairly calm and certainly not a lot of commotion aside from hearing other laboring moms on the ward.  My experience with the sign was post-partum, which is more notoriously chaotic at GW.[/quote]

Actually your response was correct, I would want quiet and peace after delivery and had so much commotion after the loss of my first child. It was all so new and we were just surviving.

I will go in prepared regardless :) My preference would be Sibley but its just so damn far![/quote]
