New Women & Children's Pavilion at NEGA Med. Center

My friend Allison and I are both pregnant and she told me that they were doing a tour of the new Women & Children's pavilion at the hospital in Gainesville...where we will both be delivering. She is due at the end of March and I am due April 15th.

Just a little FYI for you if you're interested: the new wing of the hospital has 18 labor-delivery-recovery rooms (which are a lot nicer and bigger than the old ones), 8 exam rooms, 4 surgical suites for C-sections, and 8 antepartum rooms for high-risk mothers who are on monitored bed rest. The Mother Baby rooms are still in the same place on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Here are some pics from the tour.

Here we are standing in the new lobby of the Women & Children's pavilion.

If I understood correctly, when you go into labor, you will come directly here to register. I don't think that you will have to sign in at the ER any longer...which is great.

Here's a shot of the room

They had nice bathtubs in all the rooms
