Thoughts on Labor and Delivery at SGMC

So, Lee and I just came home from a 3 hour childbirth class at Southern OBGYN. Crazy thoughts are spinning through my head as a result, or it could be sheer exhaustion .... I've been up since 4:15 a.m. They showed a video clip of a lady giving birth. It totally grossed me out. I do not think I want to see what is going on when Autumn comes along. This brings me to my point..... The Labor and Delivery rooms at SGMC are very depressing. The one pillow they give you is as flat as a pancake. We will definetely be bringing pillows from home. I was also extrememly disappointed to see that they did not have a rocking chair in the room. I have heard that rocking can be a very good way to take your mind off of contractions. Needless to say, I am now more anxious than I was before. I'm sure that when I am actually in labor I won't care about the room or what is/isn't in it. However, I think I should have just skipped the tour.

Well, I'm off to get my insulin and crash!!! - I forgot to mention that the increased amounts of insulin really helped today. My blood sugar levels were actually pretty normal . :)
