I like her a lot though so it was more like a friend visiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2381536 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:18:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 2381536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the OB, but the nurses were in every 2 or so hours, either to check on me or check on E (I had had a hemorrhage, and they were concerned about his blood sugars). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2381534 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 11:17:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 2381534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There were people in and out the whole time. Doctors, nurses, etc. I can't even remember who showed up when lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2381493 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:53:57 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2381493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the effing time! I was having 6 he blood drAws at one point so 2 am, whatever, they woke me up. And always something around 6, shift change at 7.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2381427 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 10:23:34 +0000 lamariniere 2381427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DS, yes. People seemed to be coming in and out at least every hour. It was not restful at all! For DD, no. My OB came to visit once a day in the evening and nurses came once a day to check the baby. I was allowed to hang a do not disturb sign on the door anytime I wanted, so I would do it after my OB check and leave it up until the next morning (I stayed 4 nights). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2381183 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:46:56 +0000 Boogs 2381183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time this horrible nurse did, and turned on all the overhead lights. Jerk.</p> <p>The second time was just the one night and we were mostly left alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380971 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:44:11 +0000 Littlebit7 2380971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember at all. It's like I blacked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380970 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:44:07 +0000 BSB 2380970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly can't remember postpartum, but when I was on hospital bed rest the drs would peek in my room to see if I was up. If not, they would come in later. They said they hate to wake a sleeping pregnant woman. Not sure if they do that with post partum mamas. I always thought it was nice.</p> <p>I'll also say that I'm not grumpy in the morning so it didn't bother me. I was a little tired when the ultrasound tech would come in at 7am to do my ultrasound. Everytime, I would think couldn't you do this after the dr comes in after 9am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380938 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:02:52 +0000 travelgirl1 2380938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The resident did. And with my son they woke me up when they came to bath him at 4.45am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380909 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:38:05 +0000 PawPrints 2380909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People were in and out all the time. I didn't really have any expectation of getting long stretches of uninterrupted sleep so it didn't surprise me - on the contrary, when we were left alone for a few hours at night I got a little nervous that DH and I were solely responsible for LO for that whole time. NO clue what we were doing, obviously. </p> <p>I want to say the nurses were taking my/LO's vitals every few hours at first? Maybe that was a GBS thing. But yeah they definitely never left us alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I'm glad too, I think the morning after she was born, I said to a nurse "Um she's been asleep for 4 hours..." and the nurse was like "Wow um you should definitely wake her up to feed her." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380906 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:35:13 +0000 twodoghouse 2380906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea! I can't remember details like that. People were in and out a lot, but I barely could tell day from night. It was like an out of body experience. </p> <p>I do remember the docs coming around really early when I was in the hospital for preterm labor (I wasn't having the babies anytime soon, but I just needed to get the contractions under control). That sucked because it was so hard to sleep in that hospital bed and they were monitoring me most of the night. When that dr came in and it was still basically night time I was like wtf who are you? Why are you hereeee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380900 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:31:43 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2380900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my OB, but my nurses did. They had to give me meds, check my blood pressure, remove my catheter, etc. I'm not bothered by it. They have to do their job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380893 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:26:22 +0000 MoonMoon 2380893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember, but we had the Dr, some nurses for me, nurses for LO, student nurses (we'd agreed to them there), residents, pediatrician, lactation consultants, social workers, etc in and out the whole time. I honestly didn't mind. Having round-the-clock care was very soothing for my anxiety. Fun fact, I was so hepped up on adrenaline I didn't sleep for about 48+ hours after giving birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380882 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:11:03 +0000 wrkbrk 2380882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: not my ob but the nurses did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380879 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:08:03 +0000 KT326 2380879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like some others, I don't really remember sleeping! The OB came in around 8 or 9am. But the pediatrician was in at 7am, they came early since they had to go to their clinic after. But for us, my OB practice was in the hospital I delivered at and the pediatricians office was across the street. So very convenient for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380873 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:04:31 +0000 autumnlove 2380873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nurse woke me up at midnight so I could walk the halls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380862 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:58:54 +0000 sapphire 2380862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yes, it's early, but she has patients in clinic to see so I'm not sure what the alternative is...I try to see my patients around 7, but with my clinic starting at 0800 and 20 mins from the hospital, earlier is necessary frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380790 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:10:00 +0000 BandDmommy 2380790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember but its not like I was really sleeping anyway. Between feeds and all the vital checks. It didn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380785 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:05:16 +0000 catomd00 2380785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the OB but the nurses did of course. It's not a hotel lol. They have to round when they have time to round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380784 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:04:24 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2380784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pediatrician did! He was in our room at about 5am. It was the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380780 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:02:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2380780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember it being that bad, but I feel like I hardly slept at all, unrelated to all the checks. I don't remember anyone coming in late at night or super early if I was sleeping, besides when I asked the nurse to take the baby and she brought her back to breastfeed. </p> <p>During the day we didn't have many visitors and we're just chilling so everyone coming in and out was no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380731 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:24:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2380731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm. I had my son at 630pm. Done being stitched up by almost 9pm. Went to "sleep" at 1030. </p> <p>Nurse came in to do vitals like at 11? Blood work to check platelets at 12. Had to pee but couldn't at 2am so catheter replaced. OB came in right at that time! Nurse again like a hundred times. For vitals/drugs/waking baby to nurse. Janitor popped her head in at 6 and said "oh I won't wake you" (good job!) blood work again at 7 and OB came then. </p> <p>I don't think I was really woken because I was never left alone to sleep. Omg. It was horrible. The next night we asked for no one to come in and they didn't. </p> <p>It still makes me rage a bit about how often they came in. If you're coming to check vitals and give me meds, get the baby then... Not 40 mins later. </p> <p>Anyway. Rant over. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380730 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:24:06 +0000 Alivoo01 2380730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurses did, but the OB on-call didn't stop by till later in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380703 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:06:35 +0000 misolee 2380703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Super early. I was told OBs due their rounds super early to avoid conflicting with other labors and also bc they go to various offices. The pediatrician also came really too. It's unfortunate and annoying but I liked that they came early before the hustle and bustle of nurses, visitors, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380698 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:04:43 +0000 Meowkers 2380698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had someone coming in every hour to check on us. Nurses, doctors, PAs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380695 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:01:25 +0000 sera_87 2380695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, im fairly sure the nurse washed me (??? i couldn't tell you exactly what she was doing) in the middle of the night when I was really out of it.</p> <p>not the OB herself but a resident. She kind of just poked herself in and asked if I was okay. I said yes, and that I was sorry but I was really tired, and then I just closed my eyes (I could barely control it) and went back to sleep.</p> <p>I slept until 11am that morning. Maybe that shot of dilaudid after the c-section on top of all those extra pain meds wasn't such a great idea. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380682 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:54:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2380682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurses did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380681 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:54:17 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2380681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had nurses checking me EVERY HOUR for both stays.... I couldn't wait to get out of there and get home, where I could get a whole 2 hours between wakeups lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380677 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:51:40 +0000 gingerbebe 2380677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone was in our room every 15 minutes for me or DS and I finally snapped and lost it. I had my nurse put a do not disturb sign with her pager number on it and everyone had to call her first before they came into our room. She was able to prioritize and minimize disruptions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-wake-you-up-when-you-were-in-the-hospital#post-2380672 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:50:44 +0000 kiddosc 2380672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm, I don't remember. There were people in and out all the time. The nurse came to check vitals at certain points throughout the whole night. I will say though, oftentimes on-call doctors still have a practice and need to do their rounds before they start seeing their regular patients. </p>
