The North Bay Regional Health Center contains a labour and delivery unit with eight larger labour, delivery and postpartum rooms so mom and her support person can remain in the same room for the duration of her stay.The typical length of stay after a vaginal birth is 24 to 48hrs and following a Cesarean Section birth 48 to 60hrs.

 

Once mother and baby are ready for discharge from the hospital, they are given a follow-up appointment at the Maternal Newborn Clinic. This appointment will occur within 72 hours of discharge from the hospital. Postpartum adjustment support and education as well as infant feeding and assessment are some of the services offered at the clinic. Linkages with community partners and support services, as the patient’s needs indicate, can be initiated at this visit.
