Any moms have a baby at Kaiser Permanente (Zion) in San Diego recently?

Their website isn't amazingly helpful,but here's a link to what info is there.

(It looks like the rooms in L&D are singles.)

Your doctor should also be able to answer general questions, and/or you can call to arrange a tour. (And the doctor, not the hospital, is the main factor in whether or not you have a C-section ... and YOU are the one to decide about an epidural.

The C-section rate at that hospital is about 34% ... slightly above the national average but lower than many other area hospitals.

I suggest you contact the hospital and find out about a labor class. This class can be a huge help. Education about the birth and the hospital is great to have. You can get all these questions asked and be around other in your experience. Also, you can be put at ease with some of your fears. I personally was nervous to be in a hospital and I wanted my husband too. I was able to have my husband there with my on the first night but not the second. The hospital tried to have all private rooms, but if they get full that is when they start putting people together. Still its fine to have a roommate as there are curtains. I actually found it was nice to have a roommate because she ended up providing me with some emotional support when I had a moment of struggling. I will say this, you will do just fine, the biggest problem is your own mind creating all the things to worry about. That is normal, but just know that just cause you hear about problems does not mean those problems are common. I had an epidural and I did just fine with it. I actually loved having it. Yes it hurt when I got it, but I did not care at that point about getting it. I was so much more comfortable when i had it. I was also able to sleep some once I got it.
