Elizabeth was chatting with us and we were being cordial. I remember she was like, well, I'm going to go grab myself a coffee and then I'll be back. But I'm going to go grab a coffee. I need some caffeine. Immediately after my 48-hour shift here, I'm going on my 10-day vacation. She let us know that she doesn't usually do 48-hour shifts, but she needed to get her time in before going on vacation.

So that was definitely not something we wanted to hear because is that why you're checked out? What if she had delivered babies all day for the past 24 hours? I don't know how their workload was. And so then I came in and she's already tired, maybe. Like, I have no idea where we were on that 48-hour spectrum. So that didn't feel great.

I don't think very long. I think that she stayed around and probably asked us if there was anything else she could do. Then it was like, we'll be reaching out, whatever. That was kind of it. I don't remember much after that. I stayed in that room for a little while. They don't keep you in there that long, maybe a couple hours or so, and then they transfer you to the antenatal floor.

And so we went there fairly soon after. We get moved to the antenatal room in pain, swollen, all the things that you don't have any way to prepare for when it's your first baby. You just have no idea. trying to figure out nursing, trying to figure out every three hour feeds and changing the diapers and just all the things. I mean, so much going on, zero rest whatsoever.

You don't really sleep well in the hospital. You know, people are constantly in your room and out your room and checking the baby and checking you and all that stuff. So exhausted, brain fog from everything, trying to recoup on energy and calories and fluid.

In discussions with the nurse, who was so amazing, after hearing that we came from origins and our story and all that stuff, she said, honestly, we get a lot of transfers from origins. There's a lot more transfers from origins than I'd like to admit. That did not sound great. So that started putting us on edge a bit.

My OB, she was the delivery OB, and then she was the one that followed up on me until I was discharged. I thought she was good during delivery. I had no concerns. I actually felt quite comfortable and safe with her there. when I was being discharged from the hospital. My OB came in with my discharge paperwork to go over it, sat down, went through everything. I had a second degree tear.
