Handling the Hospital Pre-BirthVideo Description:Your pregnancy is almost finished! If you're planning on having a hospital birth, here's what to expect: from getting an epidural to labor and delivery to giving birth. Hospital labor isn't easy, but it has some advantages over giving birth at home. Transcript:You’ve given a ton of thought to your new baby. But do you know what to expect on delivery day? Once you arrive at the hospital to give birth, you will check into the labor and delivery unit. After you change into a hospital gown, your nurse will hook you up to a monitor that tracks your contractions and your baby’s heart beat. will then start an IV, draw blood, and request a urine sample for testing. At this time, you’ll want to tell the nurse about your delivery plan, whether you intend to breastfeed, and if you plan to participate in cord blood banking. Throughout early labor, the nurse or doctor will perform regular checks of your cervix to see how far it has dilated. If you choose, a doctor or anesthesiologist can also give you pain medication during the labor and delivery. Your partner can stay with you throughout the process, except if and when you receive an epidural, or if and when you are prepped for a C-section. Now you know what to expect from your hospital stay, so you can arrive there feeling confident.
