Q. How do I get in the hospital after hours for Labor and Delivery? A. Enter the hospital at the front circle. You will turn right as you enter the hospital and take the South Elevators to the 3rd floor.
Q. How many people can be in the delivery with me? A. Up to four people are allowed in the delivery room at the birth.
Q. Can we video tape or take pictures of the delivery? A. You are welcome to take pictures before and after the delivery but the official hospital policy at UT Medical Center states, “No photography or videotaping is allowed during the actual delivery or C-Section.”
Q. Who can stay with me if I have a C-Section? A. Only one person may be with you, and no videotaping is permitted.
Q. What are the visitation hours? A. It will be your decision as to who visits you and when. We encourage you to have as many visitors as you would like, but to keep in mind that you and your baby need rest and quiet time together.
Q. Does UT Medical Center have a pharmacy on campus? A. No, we do not have a public pharmacy.
Q. What is a well woman’s exam? A. A periodic well woman exam for all ages is not just about good medical care, but it also gives you the opportunity to learn more about beneficial health habits, counseling and community support services as well as an overall view of the best ways to take care of yourself and your family for a lifetime.
Q. What is the Center for Women’s Health? A. It is a comprehensive, coordinated and convenient healthcare for women. The Center for Women & Children's Health uses all aspects of the hospital to care for women’s health needs. The Center for Women & Children's Health does not have its own separate building. We use all physicians throughout the UT Medical Center for the care of women.
Q. Where can I get information on breastfeeding? A. We have certified breastfeeding consultants at UT Medical Center. They are available by calling 305.9337, or you can get information from your physician.
Q. Is a family member able to stay in the room with me at night? A. One family member is allowed to stay with you and your baby. |
