Ke koho ʻoe i kāu kahu hānai, ke koho pū nei ʻoe i ka haukapila kahi āu e hānau ai. No laila, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaka e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka haukapila e hāʻawi ai ma mua o ke koho ʻana i kāu obstetrician, no ka mea e loaʻa i kāu kauka nā kuleana ma kekahi haukapila. Pono paha ʻoe e hoʻololi i nā kauka i mea e hāʻawi ai i ka haukapila āu e makemake ai.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i kāu noiʻi ma ka nīnau ʻana i kāu kauka maʻi i kēia manawa e pili ana i nā haukapila maikaʻi. ʻO ka halemai maikaʻi ʻo ia hoʻi ka hale maʻi ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o hoʻokahi hola, a hiki ke maʻalahi i ke kaʻa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi inā hiki ke maʻalahi ka haukapila e ka ʻōnaehana interstate, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e ʻike i ke kaʻa i ka wā e hana ana ʻoe.
Ke loaʻa ʻoe i kekahi mau haukapila i loko o kahi radius pōkole, ʻo ia ka manawa e noʻonoʻo ai i nā nīnau wehewehe. ʻO ka mea mua, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻōpū koʻikoʻi (e like me ka hānau mua ʻana, a i ʻole he maʻi diabetes gestational), pono ʻoe e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻāpana mālama kino neonatal i kāu haukapila. Loaʻa i kēia mau ʻāpana nā incubator kūikawā e mālama ana i nā pēpē ʻōpiopio a hoʻohana i nā kauka neonatologist aʻo ʻia a me nā kahu hānai. ʻO nā halemai e hoʻohana ana i ka ʻenehana mālama neonatal hou he mea hoʻohui, inā hopohopo ʻoe i nā pilikia ʻoi aʻe. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao, inā ua ʻae kāu obstetrician i nā pono ma kahi haukapila i nele i kahi keʻena mālama koʻikoʻi neonatal, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaka e ʻimi i nā halemai i loaʻa kēia mau ʻāpana-ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ʻāpana o ke ʻano.
He nui nā wāhine hānai e makemake e loaʻa kahi lumi pilikino no ko lākou ʻohana, ma mua o kahi lumi e paʻa ai nā wahine. Nui nā halemai e hāʻawi i kēia mau suites, no nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe. Ma ka awelika, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā suites pilikino e kūʻai ana ma kahi o $15,000, ʻoiai hiki i kekahi mau polokalamu ʻinikua ke hoʻopaʻa i kahi hapa o kēlā bila (no laila, pono ʻoe e kelepona i kāu ʻinikua inā e noʻonoʻo ana ʻoe i kahi lumi haukapila pilikino). Hāʻawi kekahi mau suites pilikino i nā pono e like me nā whirlpools a me HDTV. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, ʻae kēia mau suites iā ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka manawa holoʻokoʻa o kāu hana a me ka lawe ʻana i loko o ka suite hoʻokahi, kahi i ʻike ʻia he lumi Labour Delivery Recovery Postpartum (LDRP). Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke mālama ʻia e hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau kahu hānai ʻaʻohe mea maʻi ʻē aʻe, a no laila e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka mālama pilikino. He mea nui e hoʻopaʻa i kahi lumi pilikino i ka hikiwawe i mea e hoʻonui ai i kou manawa e loaʻa ai i kāu lā i lawe ʻia ai.
Hāʻawi pū nā halemai e hāʻawi ana i kēia mau suites pilikino i nā lawelawe uku e like me ka lactation (feeding) consultants, 24-hour anesthesiologist care, a me kahi kahu hānai no ka mālama ʻana i kāu pēpē kokoke iā ʻoe ma hope o ka hānau ʻana. ʻAe nā halemai ʻē aʻe i nā kaikunāne e nānā i ka hānau ʻana, a ʻae i ka poʻe kipa 24-hola ke ʻole ka makuahine a i ʻole ka pēpē e pono ai i ka lāʻau lapaʻau. ʻO kekahi lawelawe 24-hola āu i noʻonoʻo ʻole ai ma mua, ʻo ia ka lawelawe lumi he 24-hola-ʻo ka hapa nui o nā makuahine hou e pōloli loa ma hope o ka hānau ʻana a makemake lākou i ka meaʻai i nā hola maʻamau. Hāʻawi nā halemai ʻē aʻe i nā lomilomi mai ka ʻumikumamālima mau minuke a i ʻelua mau hola. Loaʻa paha kekahi o kēia mau lawelawe inā ʻoe e noho i kahi suite pilikino a ʻaʻole paha, no laila e ʻoluʻolu e nīnau e pili ana iā lākou i kāu hana noiʻi.
Pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i nā mea ʻokoʻa mai kāu lumi haukapila. No ka laʻana, hāʻawi kekahi mau haukapila i kahi kaʻa manuahi no nā malihini. Hoʻonui kekahi mau halemai i nā lawelawe kūikawā ma hope o ka hānau ʻana. No ka laʻana, nui nā halemai e hāʻawi i nā papa makua hou no nā mākua e aʻo ai e pili ana i ka mālama keiki. Maikaʻi nō hoʻi kēia mau papa no ka mea hiki i nā mākua hou ke launa pū me nā mākua ʻē aʻe a hoʻolauna. Aia kekahi pūʻulu kākoʻo kūikawā e like me nā pūʻulu makuahine hou, pūʻulu makua kāne hou, a me nā pūʻulu kaikaina hou.
Ma hope o kāu hana ʻana i kahi papa inoa o nā haukapila āu e makemake ai, he mea maikaʻi e hoʻonohonoho i nā kipa me lākou. Hāʻawi ka nui o nā halemai i nā huakaʻi hui a i ʻole nā mea hoʻokahi no ko lākou mau kikowaena makuahine. I kou kipa ʻana, e nānā pono i nā keʻena no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana, no ka mea, pono ka maʻemaʻe i ka wā i hānau ʻia ai kāu pēpē a hiki ke pilikia i ka maʻi. Pono ʻoe e hōʻea i kāu huakaʻi me kahi papa inoa o nā nīnau, ʻoiai paha e pane ʻia ka nui o kēia mau nīnau i kāu huakaʻi. Eia hou, pono ʻoe e noi i kahi palapala a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi o nā kulekele a me nā hoʻoponopono o ka haukapila no nā maʻi hānai, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā lākou ma mua o kou lā hānau. I kou kipa ʻana, e makaʻala ʻaʻole e lawe ʻia e ka nani o nā keʻena - e hōʻoia mua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka haukapila i nā kumuwaiwai e mālama pono ai i kāu pēpē inā pilikia.
