Do you know if your hospital has an I-Nursery?

What's an I-Nursery. :huh:

Steph,

I'm so excited for you! I was wondering about yesterday too since you had done so much work the day before. :blink:

It's a place on the hospitals website where you can go and see the baby's pictures who were born. It doesn't give last names or sometimes not even anything more than the mothers first name. It gives weight, height, and birth time. They are becoming popular.

Here is the one at the hospital I work at.

You would find the month on the left hand side and you will get a calendar and find the baby. They are a great way to share the birth with long distance family and friends.

My sisters baby was born in a different hospital, and they took a couple different pictures and one of the parents and they were on the "baby's page" on the I-nursery. It was cute.

Ok, I've heard of those.

That's neat! I thought you had to have name/password to access those sites.

Some hospitals you do, some you don't. I know our hospital doesn't require any passwords or anything. :)

Stef, so glad things are progressing for you. I thought for sure that you were having him yesterday. Hopefully you'll go today or tomorrow. I'm so excited for you!!!

Thanks for all the 'Good luck' wishes. I just lost my mucous plug like 10 minutes ago. Since I have never been pregnant, I don't know, if that was the entire plug, but it was quite a big of a chunk. Now all the early signs have happened so far. Next thing must be baby :rolleyes: , there is no other way anymore now. Things are rolling and it's pretty much the point of no return :P .

Um, INursery... I have no idea. There is something like a Web Nursery on the Women's Center webpage, where I'm delivering. But it doesn't seem to be connected to the actual Women's Center :unsure: . I have no idea, guys. I decided to just put the link to the hospital in here and if I go into l&d without a chance to update you in time, then it depends on, if this Web Nursery is for free or not. Cause if it's not, then I gladly wait the 48 hours until I come home. I've heard, they can be sooo expensive. Here's the link to the Women's Center in Carlisle, where I'm delivering. Maybe even some of you guys can figure this out. Sometimes I'm an internet idiot... sorry:

Stef, it appears to be free. They will likely have forms for you to fill out at the hospital. Be sure that you read all the fine print though as sometimes they try to trick you into buying your baby's first photos through them and they're generally (IMO) not worth the money. I just took a camera w/ me to the hospital and had my husband following the nurses around snapping pictures. I'm sure you'll be able to do the same thing.

Good luck tonight! I hope you get a good night's sleep before you go into labor. I have a funny feeling your wait will now be measured in hours rather than days. :) Enjoy it all!!!

Well, if it's not today, then it will be fairly soon. I know it's hard waiting (I went over with all three of my kids), but remember that baby will come when s/he's good and ready...this really is something worth waiting for. :)

It's funny - in our family, we like to be punctual!

My sister had both her daughters right on their due date! I had Eileen one day before and Rhiannon one day before. The boys don't count - they were nine weeks early!

My next doctor's appointment is at 12:10pm. Hopefully he will check me then. Let's see, if something moved from last week, when I was considered 80% effaced and not soft or dilated, until today. Maybe I'm so far along, that they will keep me right away. :lol: Wouldn't that be cool!?! On the other hand, since I apparently don't have contractions yet, I don't want to be induced, just because they keep me and want to get things going <_< . And technically, if nothing's wrong, he can stay in there about two weeks longer, what I don't really want, but you never know :( .

Good luck at the doctor today--we'll be waitin to hear!

My first was 3 weeks late :o They planned to induce on Monday--he showed up on Saturday. With the first, you never know....

Don't worry, Stef, they won't induce you just because you've dilated a lot. They'll let you walk around at 8 cm so long as your water hasn't broken. Maybe an exam will get things moving along for you. Also, just because you don't feel contractions doesn't mean you aren't having any. With my first I was having contractions and I had no clue. They were very surprised that I couldn't feel them.

I'll be waiting to hear how the appointment goes Stef. :D

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.

      This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother at all? This is a good question, and if they can't actually deliver gluten-free food, should they even be legally allowed to make any claims around it?  Personally I view a gluten-free menu as a basic guide that can help me order, but I still explain that I really have celiac disease and need my food to be gluten-free. Then I take some AN-PEP enzymes when my food arrives just in case there may be contamination. So far this has worked for me, and for others here. It is frustrating that ordering off a gluten-free menu doesn't mean it's actually safe, however, I do feel somewhat thankful that it does at least signal an awareness on their part, and an attempt to provide safe food. For legal reasons they likely need to add the disclaimer, but it may also be necessary because on a busy night, who knows what could happen?
