Hospital Question

With all these threads about pre-registering at the hospital, hospital tours and such...

Has anyone wound up delivering at a totally different hospital then what they planned on???

This is my 1st pregnancy and I am hoping to make the 45 minute drive into St. Catherine's in Smithtown. What happens if I don't make it there and wind up at a different hospital with a different doctor??

If you wind up at a different hospital, they'll just take you & the baby. The staff pediatrician checks out your baby. You're released after a few days and then go to the regular pediatrician you choose.

In all likelihood, you'll get to St. Catherine's. Most first labors are 8-14 hours from start to finish.

This actually happened to my sister's friend. She lives in CT and works in the city. She had the baby early and was having contractions while with a friend but didn't think anything of them and ended up almost passing out on the train ride home and had to have the baby in a NJ hospital.

She delivered with a staff OB and her DH missed the birthChat Icon

I didn't even get a chance to pre-register with St Charles...I had an emergency c-section at 35 weeks at Stony Brook. Not a problem (especially since I came in an ambluence)....when I got there I told them I called the Dr..Dh answered any questions and an hour and a half later Hayley was born.
