We offer a Childbirth preparation course in English and Spanish at LVMC. These classes are taught in a single-day format by an experienced labor and delivery nurse. This class focuses on evidence-based information about the birth process, routine medications, common medical interventions, relaxation techniques, partner support, and much more. The course is designated to help our moms feel more confident about what to expect before, during, and after labor.

Birth Certificates

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

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

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

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

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.
