today grady and i had our tour of inova loudon's birthing inn where we will give birth to our little chickadee. after walking through the halls, seeing the rooms and meeting some of the staff i have no doubt in my mind that this will be a great experience. i'll probably be able to get there in my sleep when it's time too seeing as my pilates class is in the building right next to the actual birthing inn.
some things that i really liked were:
- wireless monitoring
- soaking tubs in all birthing rooms
- the option of having more than just 1 person in the room with me while giving birth
- private postpartum rooms
- free mom's support group every week
the size of the facility really made me feel at home too. it wasn't too big and not to small. so i didn't feel like a number. i actually feel like we will get personal attention while we're there. the small little touches too like, professional photos of all the staff's children decorating the halls and rooms, made it feel more like a home rather than a hospital.
