Rockyview Hospital? Good or Bad

I was just registered to give birth at Rockyview Hospital. Those who had a baby there, how was it? Anything I should know or be prepared for?

I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but I had the worst experience there .. when I was in active labour the nurse had told me to get off my phone and to go home because people who actually needed a bed need to be here (I was 6cm dilated and my water broke) I was also there 5 days after I gave birth and I kept asking for a shower and never received one … they also put in the epidural needle the wrong way and had to do it again so ya … 😅 hopefully your experience is better then mine I will never be giving birth there again

I had a midwife team that only deliver at Rockyview or home. Because I wanted a hospital birth, I had my baby at Rockyview. I had a wonderful experience!
Although it is an older hospital and I had to share a room (semi-private) for postpartum. The nurses, on site midwife and obgyn were all amazing and so kind. The anesthesiologist was great with my epidural. Felt all the things I wanted to and all the things I didn’t lol. I was offered to use the showers but since I was going to be sent home the next morning, I opted not to.
My only complaint is that it’s just old and the furniture is old too (bulky, plastic-y chairs that sort of recline; no beds/ cots for him. And really tiny rooms) which made it hard for my husband to be comfortable.

Two parties on the same day, WWYD?

Our DS was invited to his nursery best friend's birthday party one month in advance, we immediately confirmed. The party is 2 to 4pm.

About a week later we got another party invite from some long time friends. The party is the same day but from 12 to 2pm on the opposite side of the city, so it will take a 40 minute drive to get from one to the other. This child used to be best friend but they haven't been available to meet for the last year, so I was thinking about skipping this party. However, my child keeps asking about them and it is possible for us to attend, just complicated. So thought I would go and leave early (stay for hour and a half instead of 2 hrs) and go to the other party around 10 mins late.

Is it too rude to leave the first party early? We are staying for most of it. Or is it better no just not go?

What would you do?

Honest truth about C sections

I am a first time mother having an elective c section. I’ve been told that it’s a shame I am doing an elective as thank God my baby is healthy. I need to know is a C section better than a birth? If you have had both please share your experience below !
