I was in birth suite for 6 hours after DD1 and DS because I had any epidural both times. My epidural was turned off 15 mins before I started pushing with DD1 and as soon as I started pushing with DS but I have some weird reaction to it where my left leg stays completely numb for about 12 hours after - it happened in both my labours so I was completely unable to walk or bear weight. So I was in a wheel chair after both of their births.

I had a c/s with DD2 and was wheeled down on a bed while DD2 was taken upstairs to special care.

Here the birth suite is on the middle floor with maternity below and special care above and you have to walk through the main part of the hospital to get to the elevators ... not fun!
