oh yes definitely. you can request that everything take place in your room. another great thing to make sure is spelt out for the staff before hand. if the DR or MW has written that as an order, it can't be disputed and you won't experience interference from the staff .

dana - thanks again for the "insider" advice. i don't think hospitals are out to hurt me or my baby. but they tend to make more "one size fits all" policies which is understandable, just not something i want to have to be on guard against. i'm not opposed to one sugar test. so i'll be sure to bring all this up (testing in my room, no bottles, only one test, etc) with my doc on monday at my next appt. thanks again.
