when to register at hospital...?

[karianderson0922]

Hello there mommies and future mommies! I'm currently 21w 3d (ftm) and me and my husband wanted to know when was a good time to register with the hospital we want to deliver at.

The point of registration is to ensure that the hospital has space for you and that your room is available cause a lot of times labor and delivery is under staff during the baby booming season like sept thru January

My doc had me do it today I'm 29 weeks. If you want to do it just ask them for the paper fill it out an give it right back :)

A birth plan is a plan that you and your partner make up as to how you want the delivery to go do you want meds or not do you want partner to cut cord do you want to do skin to skin after baby comes out do you plan to breast feed stuff like that

I registered at 34 weeks! And the birth plan I think it's if you want to deliver naturally without an epidural

I only registered with my first after that I realized it made no difference they still ask the same crap again

Start of third trim to register. As fir birth plan than has bugging to do with registering. That you want to type up and make several copies. You could go over it with doctor at an appt but they are not going tov want a physical copy till your admitted in the hospital in labor. Then you'll want a copy for you, doc, nurse and maybe an extra.

I never did.. wasn't told to either. Didnt delay anything when I went into labor.  Go figure

You can go anytime. With my first pregnancy i went and registered at 16 weeks. The sooner the better.
