Meet Our Family Admission Nurse
Morton Plant Hospital is one of the only hospitals in the region to offer a special birth plan appointment with our family admission nurse before the arrival of your new baby. At this one-on-one appointment, you’ll discuss your desired birth plan and labor and delivery experience, including your preferred method of pain management and the use of other comfort techniques. You’ll also review the necessary medical consent paperwork, saving you lots of time on delivery day.
Here are some topics you may be interested in learning about at your appointment:
- Aromatherapy during birth
- Hydrotherapy during birth
- Wireless fetal monitoring
- Positioning options during labor and delivery
- Postpartum depression
- Lactation questions before birth
- Pain management questions before birth
When you and/or your baby are ready to go home, you’ll be discharged. Ask your family admission nurse if you have questions about:
- Lactation support
- Breast pump rental
- Who to call if I have any questions once I get home
