Family Birth Center Pre-admission
If you are planning to deliver your baby at Immanuel St. Joseph's, you are invited to schedule an appointment with a registered nurse from our Family Birth Center. Designed for women and their partners who are 32 - 36 weeks into their pregnancy (or sooner for women expecting twins), this visit prepares you for your upcoming hospital stay. Plans for your baby's birth, initiation of admission forms and birth certificate, distribution of educational materials and a personal discussion of your unique needs and concerns are all a part of this session. This visit will allow us to individualize your care and make your hospitalization and the birth of your child a more satisfying experience. We will also provide a tour of our Family Birth Center to help you become more familiar with our facility.
Cost: FREE
