What To Do When Labor Begins

Contact Your Physician
When your labor begins, notify your obstetrician.

Come to the Hospital Lobby
Enter the hospital through the main lobby anytime, day or night. Stop at the information desk to be directed to the third floor Labor and Delivery unit. You will use the elevators conveniently located in the lobby behind the blue tile art wall.

Leave your suitcase in the trunk of your vehicle until you have delivered your baby and you and your baby have settled into a recovery suite. Pack a small separate bag for items you will need in labor, such as a camera, socks, massage tools and a music device.

Patients and visitors who anticipate needing parking for an extended stay can purchase discounted parking passes from the cashier.

Triage
When you arrive in the Labor and Delivery unit, you will be greeted at the nursing station and taken into our triage area.
