Stony Brook Hospital questions

I didn't get a chance to take the tour so was wondering about a few things, if anybody has been there or taken the tour:

do they have the birthing balls you sit on or should I bring mine from home?
showers in L&D room?
tv in L&D room?
How are they with letting you walk around etc. during labor?

Any info is appreciated, thanks!

When I gave birth there in 2007 they had a birthing ball (and chair to put it in if you like), a birthing bar, a shower in the room and a TV. As far as walking around, I think every case different. I couldn't really walk around because they were monitoring me. I walked to the bathroom but not around the hospital.

OK cool, I kind of just assumed they would have these things but I figured I should make sure.
Thank you!

I was allowed to walk around, I requested not to be hooked up to the monitors, the did make me come back into the room and check my stats every so often, yes there is a shower in there, labor was too crazy for me to even think about going in there and sit under the shower while I labored (as I had thought I would).
