[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]

Not hammering but asking for a little perspective.  I really don't think a bell chiming adds one bit of joy to the actual parents - they are already overjoyed.  I think it adds a little cheer to the hospital generally and probably is good for PR, but at the expense of others.  If you say you think that joy to other patients/visitors outweighs the annoyance caused to others and pain caused to a few, make that argument.[/quote]
