At least the hospital was still traditional enough to use the labels “mother” and “father” rather than something more PC, such as “parental caregiver of whatever gender #1” and “parental caregiver of whatever gender #2.”

I think the current PCest terms are “birthing parent” and “non-birthing parent”….

I’m glad nobody referred to me as a “birthing parent.” I was in an emotional state and could have started getting aggressive.

It’s a Catholic hospital. There was prayer time every morning. A very good place.

The hospital was obsessed with avoiding accidental swapping of babies. They have complex procedures that they keep faithfully. It would even get funny over time.
