The delivery time arrived: what brought me to the hospital?

The contractions begin, the baby is about to arrive and nerves emerge. To avoid last-minute oversights, it is best to have the baby bag ready with everything you will need during your stay in motherhood for him and for you.

I'm in labor! Arrival at the hospital

The first thing to do immediately after arriving at the hospital, to be attended, is to go to the admission desk to fill the entry form (If you can not do it, the person who accompanies you can do it).

Each center has its own guidelines, but these are more or less the general recommendations before admission:


- Do not wear jewelry or piercings, or valuables.

- If you can, take a shower at home before entering.

- Avoid wearing the painted nails of feet and hands.

- Take with you all the pregnancy control documentation and have it on hand, as well as your personal documentation.
