[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in a post partum recovery room right now if anyone has questions! [/quote]

- what birthing "things" did you have access to? as in, yoga ball, squat bar, etc? 
- did you get tested for COVID? did your partner? 
- did you have to wear a mask the whole time?

giving birth in the next 1-2 weeks, thanks in advance for answering![/quote]

Every room has a birth ball, and they have some peanut balls, but a nurse told us ahead of time that sometimes they run out, so we brought ours from home. That turned out to be a great call because I’m tall and my peanut ball is way bigger than the ones they have. They were really happy I brought my own. As I didn’t ask about a squat bar.

I got tested the night before, partner did not get tested.

Once labor got going, I didn’t wear a mask, but before that and after I did. Every time someone comes into the post partum room we throw our masks back on. In labor and delivery it seemed really lax as long as you’re in your room (and you don’t leave your room).

Good luck! I had a great experience in labor and delivery!
