Preparing for Delivery for First Time Mothers-to-Be

Last updated 9 months ago

Pregnancy can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially as the delivery date draws near. It isn’t uncommon for expectant mothers to rely on others with similar experiences for support, but preparation can play a significant role in simplifying the process of delivery and postpartum care. Luckily, our Women’s Services Department at Southern Hills Hospital & Medical Center offers these tips to plan for your child’s birth.

Planning, Logistics and Support

Save time and pre-register online at SouthernHillsHospital.com. By doing so, you’re saving valuable time and being most efficient for your family.

Preliminary Classes and Studies

Register for our Childbirth Classes, labor & delivery unit tours and breastfeeding classes. Generally, it is recommended that you complete all birthing classes by the end of your eighth month of pregnancy, or at least familiarize yourself with the related literature.

Consulting Your Doctor

Meeting with your doctor provides you with the opportunity to establish a birth plan that outlines your preferences for the delivery process. You can also use this opportunity to discuss any remaining questions about pain control or other health-related issues

At Southern Hills Hospital & Medical Center, we strive to provide medical care and informational resources of the highest quality. Call (702) 880-2700 to schedule an appointment or check on our schedule of women’s services tours and child birth classes.
