It was kind of surreal. We were both psyched for another full-day experience, but it ended up like watching the highlights of a football game during the news hour if you know what I mean. No time to get to a birthing suite - he was born in a resus bay in the ED at Sunshine hospital. (Yeah, Australian medical jargon - translate to your local dialect if you can.)
Oh, and as an aside, if you or a friend is going to have a baby in Melbourne, Sunshine hospital is the best place for it. We actually live closer to the Royal Melbourne and Royal Women's hospitals, but we chose to go to Sunshine because it's better. It's sad in a way, but the fact that it services a large area with lots of lower income residents and immigrants means they've become very efficient and also accommodating.
Don't get me started on Royal Women's - a friend of mine had a baby there, and it was a clusterfuck. She was given bad advice throughout the process, and ended up being left unattended when she needed attention the most, so she suffered brain damage from loss of blood. Thankfully the baby was OK. That place is better at performing abortions than delivering babies. The most ironic part is that she actually lives pretty close to Sunshine, but her hubby and mother-in-law wanted the baby born at the Royal Women's.
