Advice to Those Giving Birth at Mount Auburn Hospital

I started this post shortly after bringing my first child, Patrick Tibbetts, home from Mount Auburn Hospital. Now he is nearly eight months old, and I am finally getting around to posting it. In the interim, I have shared this advice verbally with several friends. I’ll keep it short, just three pieces of advice that I wish we had known.

For those of you that don’t know, Mount Auburn Hospital is in Cambridge, near Harvard, and is the preferred full-service birth hospital in the Cambridge/Arlington/Somerville/Belmont area. Their Bain Birthing Center is very progressive for a hospital-based center. Unfortunately it is a bit dated, which comes from having adopted many of the now-trendy features of birthing centers (big labor and delivery rooms, wood floors, real furniture, bathtubs, etc) early.
