I'm a bit uncertain about posting, threads and such, so feel free to point me in the right direction! First time single mom here on pins and needles. I'm waiting for the phone call that the bmom is going into labor. The hospital plan is for me to be in the waiting room (but not in the delivery room), have a bracelet, baby sleeps in the nursery, etc. The bmom and I are going to the doctor appointment tomorrow, and hopefully she'll feel good about stopping in to visit the social workers with me at the hospital. The lawyer has already called and connected with them. Do you all have advice about what to bring to the hospital? I'm worried more about drama than anything. The bmom's mom opposes it and may be at the hospital throughout...though not in the delivery room. Wise words, anyone?

We also were worried about drama from the biological grandparents. What we did was the birthfather (you could get whoever is going to the hospital with her) and i went to the nurses station and talked to the nurses. They put me and my husband in the last room on the hall and just had us call the nurses station to check the progress. When our daughter was born they waited till they new the Coast was clear and had us come to the nursey . ANd of course in todays world of HEPA rules it is very commmon to keep the blinds closed in the nursery. The birthmother requested to be moved to another part of the hospital so as soon as she was gone we roamed around freely. TAKE A CAMCORER. I forgot mine and videoed on my phone her getting cleaned up and my phone broke and I lost it forever. Take a note pad or diary and that will give you something to write to him/her about how you felt during your wait. Then of course the outfit to go home in , car seat, ect... Congrats.
