If you are at Foothills, I would say put in a request for a private post delivery room as soon as you can as the post delivery rooms are pretty small for 2 families and all the visitors. Not sure about the other hospitals, but I assume the same- except maybe the new south health campus where delivery and post delivery rooms are apparently the same and pretty decent?
Don't fret if they need to resort to a vaccuum or forcep delivery- a little scary, but done all the time and very safe.
And of course, everyone says dont take a peak no matter the urge to do so. Ya, probably good advice for most spouses, but there are some guys out there that arent bothered by that kind of stuff. I certainly didn't and dont regret it. Stood to the side and a little behind.
