Prenatal hospitalisation

When you arrive at the hospital, please bring:

• pregnancy card
• indoor shoes
• comfortable clothing
• toiletries

Hospitalisation is available 24 hours a day.

A doctor’s referral is required for antenatal inpatient care. No referral is needed for emergency assessment.

Planned induction of labour in a family room:

If your induction of labour is planned on a doctor’s recommendation, you have the option to stay in hospital with one support person during the process. We offer paid family rooms, where your support person can stay with you throughout the induction.

Staying in a family room helps create a calmer and more supportive environment for both you and your support person.

The family rooms are located on the 5th floor of the Women’s Health Clinic (rooms 16, 17 and 18). The service also includes meals for your support person.

‍What happens during induction?

Patients scheduled for a planned induction of labour will first arrive at the antenatal ward on the 3rd floor, where initial assessments and examinations are carried out, including:

• ultrasound scanning
• CTG (monitoring of the baby’s heart rate)
• vaginal examination
• selection of the induction method by a doctor

A midwife performs the initial CTG. The doctor carries out the other examinations and chooses the induction method.

Please attend the antenatal ward on your own initially, without your companion.

Once induction has started, a care assistant will accompany you to a family room if one is available. Your companion can then join you in the family room on the 5th floor, entering through the admissions department.

In the family room, a midwife and gynaecologist will monitor you and your baby. Once labour begins, you and your companion will move to a delivery room.

Please note: family room availability is confirmed when you arrive at the hospital. Rooms cannot be booked in advance.
