Before your baby arrives Find a pediatrician or family physician who has privileges to practice at the hospital where you will deliver your baby. This physician will check baby while he or she is in the hospital. Often, this doctor also will be baby s post-hospital doctor. If not, you ll want to retain another physician for vaccinations, well-baby checks and other needs. Financial Concerns: It is a good idea to check into your insurance coverage, so you are prepared for any out of pocket expenses. We do not want you to be surprised about financial issues, so here is a checklist for you to follow. First, check to make certain OPRMC is covered by your insurance. Next, check your insurance coverage. Often, you may be responsible for some portion of the hospital s bill. This varies widely depending upon your personal coverage. This bill is usually separate from your maternity care provider s bill. There may also be other physicians involved in your care here at the hospital who will have bills separate from the hospital. Physician groups who may be involved in your care and bill you separately include: anesthesiologist, pathologist, cardiologist, emergency department physician, radiologist. The anesthesiologists and pathologists are the ones who are most frequently involved in maternity care, but others may also provide care. We occasionally have patients who find their health insurance doesn t offer maternity coverage. If this is the case, we offer a discounted Prepayment Plan. If you need information about this, you may call our financial counselors Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For patients with last name A-L (913) 541-5887 or M-Z (913) 541-5321. Get a car seat: Kansas will not permit your baby to leave the hospital without a car seat. Baby stores and discount department stores carry them. Infant seats have a handle that lets you carry baby to and from the car. It is recommended that you visit your local police or fire department to assist with proper car seat installation. Seats are installed incorrectly about 85% of the time. To search for locations go to www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/childps/cpsfitting, then enter your zip code. Be sure to call ahead to determine availability and times. Select baby names. If you have already chosen a name, you can complete baby s birth certificate and social security number application quickly and easily in the hospital. Birth certificate information MUST be completed before discharge. Lactation Services Taking a breastfeeding class is a good way to ensure breastfeeding success. For information about breastfeeding and other prenatal community classes, go to www.healthyarrivals.org or call Healthy Arrivals at 913-438-4773. Even though breastfeeding is a natural process, some mothers find themselves facing challenges. Our lactation consultants are registered nurses who work with mothers to prevent and solve four
breastfeeding problems. They are certified by the International Board of Certified Lactation Consultants and have extensive educational and clinical expertise. Services offered include breastfeeding classes, inpatient counseling to mothers, routine follow-up calls after discharge and daytime phone assistance for problems. Breastfeeding support is available by calling (913) 541-5208. Breast Pumps and Breastfeeding Supplies We now offer all new breastfeeding mothers information on breastfeeding supplies, types of breastpumps, rental and purchase resources. If you prefer to rent a breast pump, you can do so by calling customer service at Medela (1-800-835-5968) or Engell (1-800-323-8750). They can help you locate the nearest rental office. If you have difficulty, please let us know and we ll help you. Prepare your home: Plan where your newborn will sleep during the first few days or weeks. Set up the bassinet or crib and diaper changing area (either a changing table or cleared and covered dresser with changing necessities nearby) with a diaper pail for soiled diapers, a hamper for your baby s laundry and a plastic-lined wastebasket for discarded wipes. Childproof your home by removing all hazardous materials from lower level cabinets and/or attach locks to cabinet doors. Place baby-safe plugs in electrical outlets throughout the house. Buy and test a baby gate that prevents falls down stairs. Pack it up! Getting ready for the hospital In the flurry of activity as you rush to the hospital, you might forget a few necessary items. Most birthing counselors suggest that you pack your hospital bags at least two weeks before baby is due. Some suggest packing two bags one for labor and delivery and a second for postpartum and your trip home. Either way, you will want a few essentials: For Labor Comfort (be sure to put your name on everything) Birth plan (if you prepared one) Pillows (if you want your own) Non-skid slippers or warm socks Warm or cold comfort items (if you desire) Massage tools that relax you Portable Music Device (if you d like) Snacks and beverages (for Dad) Chargers for cell phones, cameras Lip balm Postpartum Essentials Phone numbers of family members and friends you ll want to call (cell phones may be used) Nightgown or pajamas with easy access for nursing (if you want your own) Bathrobe Nursing bras (if needed) Toiletries Beauty products Loose-fitting outfit for your trip home Clothes/blanket for your baby to wear home Car seat five
