When I had my first two babies, the doc ordered an inflatable mattress which did what you described. I didn’t know enough with the first two get rid of it. But with the second, upon being returned to my room, I ordered it gone, along with the humidifier. The nurses replied they couldn’t remove it as my doc had ordered it. I summoned up my courage and said, “Write on my chart, ‘the patient refused.’” It worked. No sea sickness from the mattress and no pneumonia from wet air being sprayed on my face.
I never heard of a hospital using an inflatable bed. Why do they use it?
“No sea sickness from the mattress...”
I didn’t get sea sick from it. It was I move so much and every time I moved it would adjust the mattress and the motor noise was driving me crazy. I tried to get them to shut it off but they couldn’t. I finally made myself a bed out of the guest sofa. That wasn’t very comfortable either.
