[quote=Anonymous]I’m the ‘you’re all self righteous’ poster born in 1984.

I fell victim to the ‘you’re selfish if you want a nice experience’ mentality when I had my second child (not in DC). The biggest hospital here is referred to as ‘a baby factory’ or ‘the baby spa’ because of its relatively plush experience. I rolled my eyes at moms who cared about such fluff and instead rode my high horse to an ‘inner city’ hospital closer to my house where I was told I was lucky I didn’t have to share a recovery room. I had an extremely complicated recovery and was at the hospital for what seemed like forever (it wasn’t forever, it was like 5 days). I received excellent care from fantastic doctors and nurses but DAMN by day 4 did I wish I was in the plush hospital, where the care would have been just as good, I assume, and I would have been able to sleep better on a more comfortable bed with a view of the lake and a huge tv with cable. I am EXTREMELY glad I wasn’t at WHC where I had my first baby because at this hospital at least the recovery food tasted good. WHCs was atrocious at the time.

Mom matters and I think we should all demand better recovery care, which includes the nice fluff that isn’t standard care in much of the country anymore but used to be. I think nurses need to be paid more. I think we should all get a bottle of champagne when we deliver. I think our food should taste good. I think being told that we have to choose or are selfish for thinking about what we now call ‘luxury’ is a trap we’ve all fallen for. [/quote]
