We would also in the event of their being and complications anticipated for the baby ensured that you meet with our pediatric team and have a tour of the neonatal intensive care unit and meet some of our pediatric nurses at prior to delivery as well.
So that you would know what to expect and by meeting all of the various experts are going to be involved in your care and the care of your baby. Then hopefully that will make you feel much more reassured that you and your baby will be receiving the best possible care at the time of delivery.
