Preparing for Your Delivery

Once you’ve chosen your hospital and established care with your OB/GYN, there are a few important steps to take to ensure a smooth, stress-free delivery experience.

Preregistration

Most Columbus hospitals offer online preregistration for expectant parents. Taking care of this in advance allows your personal and insurance information to be on file when you arrive in labor, minimizing paperwork and streamlining your check-in process.

Hospital Tour

Scheduling a tour of your chosen hospital’s labor and delivery unit can help ease any pre-birth anxiety. You’ll get a firsthand look at the rooms and amenities, learn about specific hospital protocols, and become familiar with important logistics like parking and visitor guidelines.

Birth Plan Discussion

Your Columbus OB/GYN obstetrics team will work closely with you to create a personalized birth plan. This includes discussing pain management preferences, newborn care options such as delayed cord clamping or skin-to-skin contact, and any other priorities you may have for your labor and delivery experience—all while staying focused on your safety and well-being.

Paperwork and Insurance

Understanding hospital paperwork and verifying insurance coverage are key parts of planning. Our administrative team is here to help you navigate these details, answer questions, and ensure that everything is in place well before your due date. That way, you can focus on what truly matters—welcoming your baby with peace of mind.
