This is important because it will give you a chance to see what the room looks like that you will be staying in, meet some of the nurses, and see where the baby will be when the nurses are giving them baths.

More importantly,  this is a great time to tell them if you plan on using any pain medication, and who you plan on allowing in the room as you give birth.  If there is anyone in particular that you do not want to come and visit, this is the time to tell them.
