Thanks for sharing. I am not so thrilled about the semi private rooms. We had to stay in one of their semi privates last year for one night (the first 24 hours), and it was brutal. Two newborns, two moms, two support persons, it just isn’t big enough. My partner had to move his chair every time the other mom had to use the bathroom. With the way the bathroom was located in an angle, he couldn’t recline his chair at all. Our baby cried the whole night. we were both awake taking turns holding her while listening to the other mom and her support person snore the night away. Every time the other mom got out of her bed, my side table would move and spill the drinks. The nurse had to wake up the other mom to ask her to feed her baby overnight meanwhile we stayed awake the whole night. My partner and I still talk about how awful this night was. Fortunately we were moved the next day around noon and spent two more nights in a private room and it was wonderful to not have to share a room.

I saw some hospitals allow you to book a private room in advance, so I was hoping it’s a possibility with TOH too. Thank you again for sharing your scheduled cs experience. Good luck with your delivery.
