Going Home
|
Your doctor will let you know how long you will be staying in the hospital. The day you are discharged, you will probably be discharged around 11 a.m. Prior to discharge, please:
It is helpful to have your car loaded with your personal belongings prior to being discharged. Carts are available to assist with getting your belongings to your car, so let your nurse know if you would like to use one. Once you have returned home, remember that you can call St. Francis Lactation Consultants
if you have any questions about breastfeeding. For questions about your
health, please call your OB/GYN's office, and for questions about your
baby's health, please call your pediatrician. Car SeatsSouth Carolina law requires all children under four years old to be
in a child safety seat while in the car. This means your baby must ride
in a child safety seat on the ride home from the hospital (and any time
when riding in a motor vehicle). You should plan to purchase a seat
that meets federal safety standards and have it installed a few weeks
prior to your expected due date.
