BTDT moms:

Someone told me that they were allowed to use a cell phone in their room after the baby was born. I thought hospitals didn't allow that.Did yours?

I don't think you're allowed to use cell phone in the hospital - at least all the ones I've been too. DH plans on calling form a pay phone and starting a chain that way. Must remember to make sure he has a calling card!

Trish, you're delivering at Winthrop, right? They have a phone in the L&D suites that you can use to give your happy news to everyone.

Re: BTDT moms:

Wow, I'd be surprised if that is allowed anywhere. I thought their usage affects some of the sensitive hospital equipment.

Re: BTDT moms:

cell phones are definitely off limits, but we had a phone in the LDR room also to call loved ones!!!

Yes I am Jenn - so I don't have to get DH a calling card? That's awesome, thanks for the tidbit!!

Re: BTDT moms:

FSIL just had her baby last night and she could use the cell phone in the hospital in Syracuse. It all depends on the hospital and what wing you are in... if there is one.
