Checklists and resources to prepare for your hospital stay

Registration

At about 14 weeks, register online with our Best Beginnings public health program.

Admission

Come directly to the maternity unit.
A nurse will assess your labour, listen to your baby, check your vital signs and do a vaginal exam. After the assessment, it may be determined for you to return home for awhile or stay in the hospital.

Rooms

Both single rooms and double rooms are used on the unit.
You and your baby will stay in the same room you had your baby in until you are discharged home.

Safety

Matching ID bracelets are given to both mom and baby at the time of delivery. Some hospitals have a bracelet security system that will alarm if babies leave the maternity unit.
Never leave your baby unattended. Accompany your baby for any procedures or tests required outside of your room (such as x-rays).
It is okay to ask for hospital ID from any health care personnel caring for your baby.
It is okay to ask health care staff and visitors to clean their hands.

Length of stay

Your hospital stay depends on your health and your baby’s health.

Vaginal birth: 24-48 hours
C-section birth: 48-72 hours

Going home

Know how to use your car seat before coming to the hospital. Your partner or family should bring the infant car seat to the unit when you are ready for discharge. Find car seat safety tips.
Visit your doctor or midwife within 7 days after you return home.
A public health nurse will follow-up with a call within 24-48 hours after discharge. Write down your questions or concerns so you can remember to ask them when they call. Learn more about the first days at home.
