Baby RN or people who have used Mercy
I will be delivering in Oct, and I am not sure what to do with our (will be) 21 month old. I am especially worried if I go in to labor overnight. I don't have family here, and I am wondering if people bring their kids to the hospital until someone can arrive? I think my dad or my friend (who will be living in the Quad Cities then) will be able to make it up, just not sure if there is a daycare, or anything for K until then. I don't know about 21 month olds, but as a 16 month old, we can't keep him still for a second, so I wouldn't want him pulling out any monitor cords!!! What do people do with their kids when you don't have family to nag???

Re: Baby RN or people who have used Mercy
I had Carly at Mercy in 2010. My parents were meeting us at the hospital so we had Betsy with us for a few hours. I asked at the registration desk when we got there and she said that people brought in their older kids all the time.
I was just on the monitors at that point and not really contracting, so after Betsy started getting into everything, DH sat in the lobby with her and we texted if I needed to tell him something.
