Beyonce checked into Lenox Hill Hospital in New York Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson.”

To ensure privacy, Beyonce and husband Jay-Z shelled out $1.3 million to rent the entire fourth floor of the upper East Side hospital. Hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and were required to hand over their cell phones upon arrival for their shifts, according to the NY Daily News.

A hospital staffer confirmed that a patient named Ingrid Jackson was in a “labor room.”

Fun fact: Lenox Hill Hospital is the same hospital where Lady Gaga was born.

UPDATE: Beyonce Gives Birth to Baby Girl
