all future visits you can come directly to the Special Delivery Suites, we will

The
nurse or physician may limit visitors at any time, at their discretion.
Obstetrics patients will have no more than 4 visitors in a LDRP during any procedure or the delivery process. Visitors not in a LDRP must stay in the visitor’s waiting area. Obstetrics patients undergoing
triage/evaluation may have only 1 visitor at their bedside. The
patient who will undergo Cesarean delivery may have one significant other
present during the procedure. What
to Expect: Our goal is to provide high quality, safe and family-centered care to all patients. To accommodate the volume of labor patients, we now provide a mother-baby unit for post delivery. Rooms for all moms are private.
No video taping of any kind, to include those on cell phones, may be operated during a delivery. Pictures may be taken after the baby is born. Before

discharge. Your baby may have to have this test repeated; your nurse will let
you know. Newborn
