Healthy Pregnancy:
A healthy pregnancy starts before conception. If you are thinking about having a baby, now is the time to prepare your body. You could be pregnant for weeks before you realize it. The first few weeks are a time when it's especially easy for the fetus to be impacted by drugs, alcohol, smoking and lack of nutrients. That's why good health is so important.

Maternity Classes:
Ready & Waiting/What to Expect is a unique, free service for Moms-to-Be. This service will intiate the admission process and identify special needs prior to the patient presenting for delivery. It is for women in their last month of pregnancy, 36 to 37 weeks. An expecting mother will meet one-on-one with a member of the Hanover Hospital Maternity staff to initiate admission paperwork, review and sign forms, and discuss policies and procedures pertaining to her child’s birth. This will streamline the “laborious” process of admission when a mom-to-be comes to the hospital already in labor. Appointments are available between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., seven days a week, and last approximately 60 minutes. Each participant is encouraged to bring a support person to her appointment.
The session will cover:
- A brief tour of the Maternity Center
- Completing an extensive medical history and physical
- Hanover Hospital’s admission and cell phone policies
- The visitation policy for before and after birth
- Safety & Security procedures
- Pain relief methods
- Breast vs. bottle feeding
- The importance and safe use of baby car seats
- Preventing shaken-baby syndrome
For more information about this class, please call (717) 633-2198.
Preparing for Childbirth teaches a woman who is expecting how to identify the signs of labor, relaxation and breathing techniques, birth methods and important facts about nutrition. For more information, call (717) 633-2198.
Infant Bereavement Support Group is for parents who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death. Hospital chaplain, Reverend Eric Stenman, will moderate the group. It will be held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month at 7 p.m. in the chapel. Please call Sharon Walb, Director of Maternity, at (717) 633-2295 or Reverend Stenman at (717) 646-6905 for more information.

The maternity department is located on the third floor of Hanover Hospital. Enter the hospital through the main entrance and stop at the information desk for a special visitors' pass to maternity. Take the stairs or elevators by the Hospitality Shop to the first floor of the hospital. Continue straight down the hallway and turn right when you get to the "T". Within a few steps you will come to elevators 5 and 6. Ride one of these to the third floor. (Please note that only this set of elevators will take you to the third floor.) Use the intercom you see on the wall across from you as you exit the elevators to gain admittance to the department.
