Questions to ask during a hospital tour?

Question

What questions did you (or are you planning to) ask during your hospital tour?!

Answer

Hospital/birthing questions 
- if have to be monitored, are there portable monitors or am i stuck in bed? 
- Pain relief options?
- Visitor policy
- Cord clamping policy 
- Cord blood storage 
- delivery to your arms?
- do they ever need to take baby away for testing/procedure or is it done in room?
- bathing policy (for baby)
- can you move around? Any positions “not allowed” for birthing?
- are you assigned a specific nurse?
- Can I pre-register?

Answer

I’ve done 1 hospital tour so far, I have another one in 2 weeks at another hospital bc I just wanted to go & check out the maternity floor but we are delivering at the 2nd hosp for sure. I’m thinking the tour will be more or less the same. They gave us a packet about classes they offer for mother’s/postpartum, showed us the birthing tub, the different rooms they have. One thing I’d ask is for a list of supplies that are going to be provided, everything else was covered including deadlines for registering.
