[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also had mag and my baby was in the NICU.  During the 24  hours of post-birth mag (which they shorted to 18 hours since my labs looked so much better), the nurses did bring me, in an oversized wheelchair with the mag drip and catheter, to the NICU for a brief visit with baby.  I was so out-of-it from the pre-e and mag that that was all I could manage.  But I was not prevented from seeing him.[/quote]

Pp here who couldn't see the baby for 20 hours.  Where was this?  I'm gathering up "it's not done this everywhere" evidence to steel
Me for my complaint letter to Inova Fairfax.[/quote]

I seem to recall you have posted your story multiple times on this board.  Have you ever had a conversation with the Head Nurse or someone in patient relations at Inova?  As another posted stated, there very well could have been either a medical reason or a L&D staffing issue that caused your situation.  I only say this, because clearly you are still processing it, and I think you would feel better if you had more information, rather than just writing a letter.  I can tell you that I had a complicated delivery at Fairfax, my baby was in NICU, and I was not prevented from going to be with her, although I was stabilized pretty quickly and it was dead in L&D.

PP here, and, you're right, I've posted at least twice in response to folks asking about experiences at Fairfax Hosp.  I have not talked to anyone in patient relations beyond a nurse manager when I was in the hospital itself.  What I was told then is that no one on magnesium is allowed to go to the NICU, but it would be interesting to talk with someone else about it.  Thanks for the tip.

And to OP, I'm SO glad your new doc is easing your mind!  Hopefully your pee jug will be all clear and you can enjoy these last few weeks.  Keep vigilant about any changes in symptoms but congrats at keeping that little baby in the oven![/quote]
