[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have rolled my eyes at this as a ftm mom but as someone who had her second three weeks ago I enjoyed my “vacation” of not making a million snacks acting like spider man and being on my feet haha. You enjoy that vacay lol [/quote]

I didn’t need a fancy setup (I delivered my second at GW lol) but honestly the two days off from toddler parenting and cooking and cleaning were great.  If you have a good sleeper (and/or there’s a nursery available) by all means enjoy the vacation.  🤪[/quote]

I'm currently a patient at GW and my OB makes it seem like it'd only be for medically necessary reasons to use the nursery; was that the case with you? [/quote]

When I gave birth (three weeks ago so pre omicron surging like crazy) they weren’t discouraging it for me and while I was very tired I definitely didn’t need it for medical reasons.  Not sure if that’s changed in the intervening weeks but at least at my delivery they would have taken my child to give me rest if I’d wanted/needed it.  (I ended up with a good sleeper this time so I didn’t ask in the end.)[/quote]

Thanks! Congrats on the newborn! We are first time parents so I think we’ll be pretty overwhelmed and could use the short reprieve with the nursery. Other logistics question, what did you do about parking? Grateful for any other advice you may have too. [/quote]

The nursery was absolutely a godsend for my first tbh.  Even when she was sleeping I couldn’t get any rest because I was so keyed up suddenly being responsible for this tiny human’s life.  I hope your nurse helps you take advantage so you can get a few hour’s sleep!

As for parking, hoping someone else can chime in?  I don’t own a car so I took the metro to the hospital this time and a friend picked me up on the way home so I honestly have no idea what goes on with parking.m

My only other advice is: order lots of food!  New parenting is hard work and the portions are smallish.  The entire nursing staff is wonderful; don’t be afraid to ask them questions or for help.  Good luck and congratulations to you!  I’m sure you’ll be wonderful parents![/quote]
