[quote=Anonymous]NP.  I have 2 DDs.  My oldest was born in 2016, and my younger DD was born at the start of the pandemic in 2020.  Both were born at hospitals without nurseries, but the difference in experiences was like night and day.  Due to Covid restrictions during my second delivery, the constant in and out of random hospital staff was negligible.  Nurses were still in the room frequently to check vitals (uncomplicated vaginal deliveries both times, so even this started to feel excessive to me after the first 12 hours).  But that was it.  No additional visits from food service to take my meal orders (that was done via a hang tag left on my door and carried in by a nurse).  No constant pop-ins from janitorial staff (I was instructed to call if service was needed).  No “customer care specialist” dropping in every few hours to discuss my hospital experience.  Etc.

I didn’t have any issues having my babies in the room with me, because both of mine slept well early on.  It was the constant interruptions by multiple members of hospital staff the first time around that was so jarring.[/quote]
