[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]L&D nurse here   The hospital where I work plays a 5 second clip of "lullabye" after every birth.  About 6 months ago someone wrote a letter expresSing many of the views posted here.  Now the chime is only played if the mother is the only one on the Floor delivering a baby and if all the other mothers on the floor have had successful births.

I would write a letter simply stating what has been said here.  I think those who come up with the idea of the bell aren't likely to think of how others may feel if things did not have such a happy outcome.  It's not like a letter can hurt. [/quote]

This makes me a little sad.  They're taking away 5 seconds of joy for those new parents all because of a few.  You know damn well when their journey to parenthood is complete, they'd love to have those 5 seconds too.  I know I'm going to get hammered on, but I don't care.[/quote]

It's not just a few.  1 in 4 pregnancies do not end in successful full term live births.  There are more stillbirths in america than SIDS deaths.  Think of the number of infertility threads on this board alone. That doesn't even cover every one who struggles with it.  The babies who are being born ARE being celebrated by the parents, their families, the staff.  No one is losing out by not having a chime.[/quote]
