Arrival and Delivery
When you arrive at the hospital for delivery, we understand the urgency of your situation. So, you should go directly to the birthing center at your hospital. Once you are in your room and in labor, you may have one support person stay and sleep in the room with you during your delivery. Complete details about your stay and the visitation policy can be found on each hospital’s website.
We encourage you to be an active participant in your health care. Your input is important to us. This may include when and what type of pain relief you receive. An epidural may not take all labor pain away. It is necessary to feel the pressure sensation for effective pushing. If you have any questions about your care, please ask your physician and/or nurse.
