Yesterday Laura, Amy, and I took a little trip over to Ingham to see what their facilities have to offer. First of all, am I the only one who didn't know that Ingham has TWO campuses? Good thing I went with these girls or when the time comes to have the baby I would have shown up in the wrong place. No joke!
So I thought Sparrow was a bit confusing to find your way around, but never have I been in a more confusing unlabeled mess of hallways like Ingham. It is awful! The birthing suites are massive and comfortable, but I was disappointed to find that you don't get to stay in the same room the whole time. They move you a few hours after the baby arrives to a smaller room. I was really spoiled when I had Logan to stay in the same room the whole time.
All in all I really liked the labor and delivery center. I am all about the smaller hospital and more intimate setting.... and I really can't wait to get there! ha ha!
I got to stay in the huge birthing suite the whole time when I had Maya! It was awesome! Hopefully, you'll get lucky and get to stay in a huge room the whole time too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Ingham was totally confusing - Dan and I went there a few times and walked the halls just in case...
All in all - I loved Ingham - the nurses are AMAZING!
I totally agree with Janee, I loved having Bauer at Ingham and the nurses were wonderful! My labor and delivery nurse made my whole experience there amazing!
ReplyDeleteEven though you'll probably get moved to a smaller room they're still great! Although, if Trevor stays in the hospital with you make sure that you get a loveseat pull-out sleeper! We didn't have that for Matt the whole time we were in the hospital. The poor guy hardly slept at all in days, only to take a newborn home and get even less slepp!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds nice there I am so excited for your baby to come!!! When I had Abby they did the birthing room and then the other room, but they just wheeled my bed into the other room so it was no big deal. I hope everything goes well for you!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I don't really even know where I'm supposed to go when I get to Sparrow! Maybe I should look into that! And hopefully Sparrow is as nice as Ingham sounds!!
