My wife was induced for labor on a Tuesday and we left the hospital on a Friday with our baby. We were both very impressed with all of the nurses and doctors in the birthing center as well as the family care center. I was so happy with how well everybody treated us in the hours leading up to the birth. I was nervous about the birth/active labor but everybody was very genuine, and I recall them checking on me (dad) to make sure I was doing OK throughout the process as well. They let me be very involved and guided me on how to help. We couldn't have been happier with the pediatrician, who was very reassuring with all of our questions/concerns, and for that reason we left feeling confident. My wife's only complaint was any needle work... initial blood draw had bruising/swelling, IV insertion required multiple attempts, epidural required multiple attempts.
