I don't know that this is necessarily a debate, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.
We toured the L&D ward of the hospital I will be delivering at in a month. It's a posh suburban hospital that looks more like a hotel. They mentioned they have a system (I think called Careview) that allows the nurses to see what is going on in the postpartum rooms at all times. You can click a button and it turns off the video to the nurses station for 20 minutes.
The nurse who gave us a tour said she loves it because they can do a better job of not barging in on people, trying to time room visits when someone is awake, etc.
While I appreciate that portion of it, it kind of creeps me out a lot. DH too. I'm not a huge fan of someone being able to see what I'm doing at almost any time for 2-3 days straight. Especially when that time involves lots of topless intervals figuring out breastfeeding, visits from the doc to check on healing, etc.
What do you think?
