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. Expecting mothers will meet one-on-one with a member of the Hanover Hospital Maternity staff to initiate admission paperwork, review and sign forms, and policies and procedures pertaining to their 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. & 7 p.m., seven days a week and last approximately 60 minutes. Participants are encouraged to bring a support person to their appointment.
Each 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
