Each LDR is equipped with a television, telephone, private bath and a lounge chair where your coach can rest. While you are in labor and after delivery, your family and friends are welcome to visit you in your LDR room. During the delivery, we ask that only your labor coach be present. Other friends and family members can wait in the Birthing Center waiting room. Both cameras and hand-held video cameras are permitted during labor and immediately following delivery.
Epidurals provide pain relief from the belly down.
After the baby is born and you are in stable condition, you will move to Baptist Regional Medical Center's Women's Health Center where you will be cared by our experienced staff until you are ready to go home. Both private and semiprivate rooms are available. If you are in a private room, Dad may stay overnight. Newborn Nursery Mothers at Baptist Regional Medical Center can keep their babies with them as much as they want. When you want to rest, your newborn will be lovingly cared for by the experienced professionals in our Newborn Nursery.
