5 Parking Parking payment is by pay and display. Prices are posted beside the machine. Itisoften moreeconomical economical to purchase a weekly pass for $48 rather than purchasing individual allday passes for $23.50 as you may need to come back to the breastfeeding clinic after you go home for a follow up visit

8 When to come to the hospital If you have any questions or concerns about whether you should come to the hospital you can call and speak with a nurse in the birthing suite. Telephone advise is limited as it is hard to assess mom and baby over the telephone. The nurse may ask you to come in to be assessed and will instruct you where to report in Cometo the hospital when any of these things happen: Your contractions are regular or you are uncomfortable You think your water has broken You have bleeding from your vagina There is a change in how often your baby is moving You are concerned about yourself or your baby
