I salute these men for being the first to reply even without personally going through labor..lol..
I gave birth to my first at Adan Hospital. All my check-ups was done in government clinics. When i got my contractions at 11pm, my husband brought me to Adan Hospital. Its not because of money but lije you are i made my own research about public and private hospitals. I went into labor the next day 1:20pm. Everything went smooth and i've been taken care well. When i was in the labor room, there were many rooms in that corner of the building and each room is occupied by women from different nationalities. There are nurses assigned for each room. They did not leave me throughout my labor. I was offered epidural (I took it). The nurse/ midwife assisted me when my baby came out. The doctor only came to check if everything was well and made sure that my ovary was emptied out (i mean baby out, placenta out, excess blood out). When my baby came out they showed it to me and told me of the gender. The nurse even offered if i want to see the placenta... They wrap the baby and other nurse cleaned me before a surgeon came in to stitch me back (episiotomy). I was transfered to the recovery room and for the first time i held my child in my hands. After couple of minutes the baby was takenn and i was rolled to the maternity ward.
My experience in Adan Hospital was not excellent but it was good. The down side of giving birth in the public hospital is that, i was cheched by different doctors most of them residence if i was dilated. My child was kept with me all the time. They only take it when bathing so i didn't really have time to relax esp. at night. I didn't have privacy coz i was sharing the maternity ward room with 3 other patients which has a lot of visitors :-(. I checked out though the next day.
