6.11 Preparing for the Hospital

Coach_Lucy

Preparing for the Hospital during pregnancy can be a daunting task. There are so many things to think about and remember. But, with a little planning, it can be an exciting time. Here are some tips on how to prepare for your hospital stay:

1. Choose your hospital carefully. Make sure you are comfortable with the staff and the facilities.

2. Learn about the different types of childbirth options available.

3. Take a tour of the labor and delivery unit. This will help you feel more comfortable when the time comes.

4. Make sure you have all of your important documents in order, such as your insurance information and a list of any allergies you have.

5. Pack your bag well in advance. Include things like comfortable clothes to wear during labor, toiletries, and any medications you are currently taking.

6. Have a plan for who will care for your other children while you are in the hospital.

7. Make sure you understand the hospital policies on visitors and length of stay.

8. Familiarize yourself with the hospital’s discharge procedures.

9. Plan ahead for your post-hospital care, such as making arrangements for help at home or finding child care.

10. most importantly, relax and enjoy this special time!
