PSA - Hospital Tours

[Velar Fricative]

First tri??? Good lord. I was too busy freaking out to think about a hospital tour.

Ours is part of the childbirth classes they offered and we're starting those next in late June.

Really?! I hadn't given any thought to that yet. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh wow! I can't believe how many things you have to register for that early on. I'm glad you still got in on time though!!
I asked about tours at my hospital last time I was there, and they won't let you register for the tour until 2 months prior to it's scheduled date, so I'm still good, but thanks for the PSA, it reminds me to schedule some other things!

Good reminder!

My OB has still said nothing to me about this. I really need to get info from her next appointment.

I'm 19 weeks tomorrow and haven't even really thought about classes and tours. I don't really know if we will do classes.
I do have an ob appointment next week so I'll talk to him about them then.

I just looked up my hospital classes, because I want to take a baby basics and do a hospital tour. There are plenty of spaces left in both for May and June. There is no way signing up for these things would have crossed my mind in the 1st tri.

I just toured 2 hospitals this weekend. It is a very simple process here. I only did it this early because one of our options offers a discount if you reserve within your first 4 months of pregnancy. Unfortunately that hospital was my least favorite, it looked like it hasn't been updated since the 60s. It was DH's favorite of course, but only because it is next door to his favorite restaurant! He's already thinking about what he'll eat while I'm in labor! Gotta love this man.

Ugh, I still need to sign up for a tour. I've been procrastinating it because it requires a phone call and I'll have to speak to an actual person. How does my hospital not have online scheduling yet?

[iheartvino]

I've never heard of pre-registering for a birth either. I assume this is something that my doctor would talk to me about. So weird how different hospitals are.

[rt2008]

I had to call and speak to an actual person, too Online is so much easier!

We went on a tour a couple weeks ago, but I only called a few weeks before that or so. There's a lot of hospital in my area to deliver at, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Lol, I don't believe there is such a thing here. I suppose I will ask someone how to find my way to L&D. I have to go to no fewer than three buildings depending on my appointment is.
