It’s important to not bring too many things. You will probably be in our care for a day or two, so there will be plenty of time for your support network to bring additional items to make you more comfortable during your stay and things you’ll need when you leave the hospital.
 
A few things you might want to consider bringing include:

• Non-slip slippers
• Non-refrigerated food for a support person
• Music that is soothing to you
• A pair of socks
• Focal point to use during contractions
• Hand-held massager
• Phone charger
• Toiletries for mom and support person
• Bathrobe
• Change of clothes for support person
• Going-home clothes for mom and baby
• Change for vending machines
• Watch or clock with second hand
• Lip balm

Preregister on the third floor at the Birthing Center and not at the general registration desk on the first floor. Registration is available 24/7.

Whether it’s scheduled or recommended during labor, take comfort in knowing that our hospitals have dedicated surgical suites with state-of-the-art operating rooms, imaging and diagnostic equipment and expert providers.
 

We encourage you to keep your baby in the room with you and be held "skin-to-skin." This time spent together helps with bonding, breastfeeding, as well as helps you to be more comfortable in caring for your baby's needs.

You’ll more quickly learn your baby's cues and get to understand what he or she wants. Many new moms also sleep better when their baby is in the room. Your baby will be with you continuously during the day and at night unless your baby needs to be in the newborn nursery for medical reasons.
 

It is quite common and natural for moms and babies to struggle with breastfeeding at first. This is no reason for concern. Both Clovis Community and Community Regional offer in-patient lactation consultants who visit every patient following their birth experience to provide private, bedside breastfeeding education and assistance.
 
And regardless of where your baby was born, the Mother’s Resource Center at Community Regional provides board-certified lactation consultants, classes, equipment and more on an outpatient basis

This is your special moment and we are here to make it everything you ever imagined it would be. We fully encourage patients to speak with their doctor about how they would like to deliver. The hospital supports patient requests, but it is ultimately up to the plan that you develop together with your physician. As such, we encourage you to discuss what you want with your physician.
 

Yes. We carefully monitor all individuals who enter and exit our labor and delivery suites, postpartum unit, nursery care unit, intermediate, and neonatal intensive care units.

Immediately after delivery, matching identification bands are attached to your newborn, you and the father/spouse. Footprints are made and photographs of your infant are taken for identification purposes. An electronic security tag is also applied to your baby that alarms if your baby is moved from designated safe zones automatically alerting the security team.

Additionally, all staff are specially trained in monitoring processes to ensure we know the exact location of your baby in the unit at all times.

Like hospitals nationwide, we have a security plan in place, educate staff, and monitor effectiveness through frequent drills to ensure the security of newborns and children in the hospital.
 

On-site interpreters as well as our state-of-the-art Video Interpreter Service provide a live, two-way video chat, offering translation services between mom and provider. Translation services for more than 40 languages are available, 24/7.

During labor, fathers/spouses and family are welcome. We encourage fathers attending the birth to take an active support role throughout labor and delivery — whether the birth is vaginal or Cesarean.

Siblings, grandparents or other family members may also be present at the birth; however, siblings must be accompanied by an adult other than the mother's support person.

Yes. In-room photography service packages for you and your newborn are available to capture those first – and most-precious – moments. There is a charge for these photos.
 

We encourage family members, including your children, to visit after the baby is born. Our goal is always family-centered care, balanced with the highest level of patient safety.

In postpartum, “Quiet Time” is between 2:00pm and 4:00pm to promote breastfeeding, bonding, and rest.  We ask that there be only one visitor at the bedside during this time.

Visiting hours in Postpartum & Antepartum High Risk are 10:00 am – 9:00 pm.

Visiting hours in Labor & Delivery are 24 hours, unless special circumstances are present.
