我想问一下这个保险吗？到转机的时候肯定有人给安排这个wheelchair服务吗？
不会发生wheelchair或者工作人员不够用的情况吧。。。

孩子真是幸福啊！
BTW，给各位美妈们郑重推荐轮椅服务，如果家里有老人来需要的话。我给老爸订了，
在北京机场时就给了轮椅服务卡，到了这边下来有人接，直接帮助入关，取行李及推到
下班登记口，单独排队，这些程序全部下来之后大概四十分钟左右，非常方便。再次感
谢姐妹们的祝福，迟些把剩下的二十个包子发完！
-------------------------------------------
关于订轮椅服务，
1. 如果是online订票，就在选航班的下方有个小框，勾上就好。
2. 如果是已经订完票，可以根据确认号到航空公司查行程，下面有一项叫special
need,点进去填写旅客信息及wheelchair service就可以.
3. 如果上述都不知道如何弄，打电话到航空公司，说request wheelchair service.如
果问为什么，就说老人不能走太长时间的路就可以了，免费的 |

Call the airline to apply for the wheelchair service. It is free for NW but
prepare some tips. The service men don't speak Chinese, they work for the
airport not the airlines. They will greet the seniors at the gate. Then they
will send the seniors to the gate for the next flight (just ask your parents
to show them the boarding pass for the next flight). Yes they did wheel my
parents to pass the customs.
They are really helpful especially if your parents can't speak English or
worry to be lost |

发帖数: 123 | 13 You can directly call your airplane company to make a wheelchair resevation.
Just say your mom or dad is old, so need wheelchait service. No charge for the
service. But you need to pay the tip for the guy who provide the service for
you. Usually, the tip is from $5 to $10. I think it is quite useful for parents
who can not speak English. My parents used this service in Chicago, they said
it really helped them a lot and saved time for them. |

能吃冰块。是说指能饮用水的冰，还是任何冰块，包括冰棍（冷饮）？是自己带冰块，
还是医院提供？
－－－－去医院之前可以吃，我建议最好还是吃点儿吧，不然自己生哪有劲儿啊。进了
医院就不能吃啦。我当时吃了两cup的冰块儿和两个冰棍儿，解渴用的。
2）说一到医院，就有wheelchair等着了，因为提前注册了。这是自己注册，还是OB
OFFICE跟医院注册？
－－－－注册可以online或者提前去医院跑一趟好了，就是填基本信息。Wheelchair看
你自己的情况了，你可以跟工作人员要求。我是去医院的时候跟没事儿人一样正常，自
己走到产房去的。不过出院的时候是护士推着wheelchair送到车上的。
3）生的时候，护士是否会用很多润滑剂，反复地按摩会阴？
