Birth Certificates
-
Paragraph
- It is essential to start thinking about your baby’s name. At LVMC,
the birth clerk will visit you after delivery to help begin the process
of completing the necessary paperwork and requesting a birth certificate.
You can download the forms and fill in as much as possible before your
hospital stay. You will leave LVMC with your official birth certificate
filed through the public registrar. Before discharging you will receive
a list of locations that you can pick up your official birth certificate
once it is completed with the registrar.

Labor and Delivery
-
Arriving at the hospital for Labor
-
Paragraph
- Call the OB unit to inform them you are on your way at 805-737-3395. Do
not worry if you do not have time to call, our staff are always ready
and waiting to help you. Remember to drive safely. When you arrive at
the hospital, it is best to come in through the Emergency Room entrance.
-
Labor Pain Management
-
Paragraph
- Whether you prefer natural methods or medication for pain relief, our staff
is here to support your choices. As labor progresses and the uterine contractions
intensify, your nurse, your Obstetrician, and your Anesthesia provider
may give you other options to lessen the pain. These options include short-acting
narcotics, regional anesthetics (epidural), and local anesthetics to help
manage your pain.
Postpartum

The Golden Hour
-
Paragraph
- The golden hour is the first hour immediately following a baby’s
delivery. This first hour is crucial for establishing skin-to-skin contact
with mother and baby. This can help regulate the infant's temperature,
respiratory rate, and heart rate. This time should have minimal interruptions
and is the ideal time to initiate breastfeeding.
-
Nursery Care
-
Paragraph
- Our unique LDRP design allows us to complete all nursery care in the room
with you. Vital signs, medications, and measurements are all completed
in your birthing suite. If you would like your baby to have a bath here
at the hospital, our nursing staff can provide that for you as well.
