Op here. Thank you!

Re: all the carseat posters - I have heard so many things about the carseat. Wrapping my head around infant w/ stroller versus convertible w/ no stroller, whether to order it now or put on registry, and then sounds like deal with the install. Yeesh. Thank you for the further insight on that piece (and the fact that I should ask to bring it up to the delivery room!).[/quote]

You don’t need to bring the car seat to the delivery room. You won’t need it until you are discharged several days later by which time you will have moved to a recovery room on a different floor. If you’re using a bucket seat, you just have your partner (or whomever is driving you home) to bring it up to the room when you’ve started discharge (which takes hours). If you’re using a convertible, you just have it installed in the car. The nurse wheels you out to the car in a wheelchair, per hospital policy, so they still see that you have a car seat.  Generally, you want to get your car seat installed in your car by 36 or 37 weeks. If you have a preterm delivery, you will be in the hospital long enough to order a car seat for 2 day delivery.
