Why do the hospital people keep warning me about not bringing valuables?? Is it really that dangerous? I don't remember this when I had kids. Have any of you had something stolen from the hospital? I really want my iPad there.

I had a private room so i had no issues. I will tell you, I took my iPad and never once had a desire to be on it!! I texted with family and friends and that was about it...I could never get comfortable enough to deal with my iPad.

yeah... packed laptop and books... didn't touch them...just wanted to rest...

I used my ipad a lot. I had it set up so my kids and I could facetime. I also watched netflix a bit and read. I was pretty comfortable though and didnt have a ton of pain. I went to Dr.Aceves so I wanted to be sure my kids and Icould keep in contact

Thank you so much for responding everyone! I have heard that I'll be too groggy to use it, but I will bring it just to FaceTime the kiddos

They told me at the hospital to just have a friend or family member hold on to valuables until I was transferred to my room. They said there was no where else they could keep it and be responsible for it.

I was told the same thing. Once I was in my room my husband brought me my iPad and I did use it and my phone to text friends.

Not necessarily the employees but could be other people who are at the hospital. That is a general disclaimer to let you know the hospital can not be responsible for your personal belongings. I work at a hospital.
