The anesthesiologist that SSU's my epidural was not friendly, over tired, had to do two attempts and I was in pain throughout the procedure and it caused delays with medication working during labor. The beds on 6E need to be upgraded, it's unfair to have a woman that just labored lay on a very uncomfortable metal frame for days. There should be a mattress pad or maxi flate mattress, anything would be better than the beds with a metal pole in the lower back. The only time explaining things was an issue was during special tests or procedures with the baby, I felt all of those should have been explained more so we know what to expect and what's being tested. The food is horrendous and every meal was wrong, we would call and ask for specific items but it was still wrong each meal with very limited choices with bland awful food. The nurses were fantastic, I didn't understand the number of interruptions overnight and throughout the day when it was prompted or necessary. I was a scheduled induction for 8pm which was delayed until 9pm, and had to wait until after 10pm for a bed. After getting on L&D the nurses couldn't get a straight answer on what meds to start for more than 2hrs, causing further delays. Due to the meds and induction I had 45mins of sleep the night before delivering in the morning - unnecessary sleep deprivation. Inductions shouldn't have to be scheduled this way, I had asked my doctors and was told they had to be overnight. There was not an option for companion trays for my husband. My primary OBGYN, nurses on L&D and 6E were all fantastic.
