JUST FOR YOU
Call 210-575-0261 for details.
Over the next nine months things are going to change. Family life.
Personal life. Home routine. And especially your body. Once you’ve
seen your physician and your pregnancy has been conﬁrmed, you
may have lots of questions about these changes.
We want to help make things a little easier. We encourage you
to call the Methodist Healthcare HealthLine at 210-575-0355
or 1-800-333-7333 to register for the “Healthy Pregnancy” class.
This is the beginning of our FirstSteps Educational Series. You
will receive information on diet, exercise, general health, and
ways to achieve relaxation and comfort during your pregnancy.
Taking care of Mom.
You should be an active participant in your pregnancy. Keep a list
of concerns and questions to ask your doctor during your scheduled
visits. Report any unusual symptoms, eat a well-balanced, nutritious
diet, get regular exercise, and suﬃcient rest. Remember, if something’s
bad for you – it’s bad for your baby, too. Avoid smoking, alcohol,
drugs, and medications (unless prescribed by your physician). Be
aware of your surroundings and stay away from known poisons and
hazards like lead, excessive X-rays, insecticides, paint removers, etc.
If you have concerns about being exposed to a product or chemical,
ask your doctor.
Taking care of Dad.
Giving birth is an experience that can be shared with those we love.
We encourage your baby’s father to accompany you on doctor visits,
be there for sonograms, attend the hospital tour, assist you during
your exercises, and help you get ready for the baby’s homecoming.
Attending the FirstSteps classes with you is a way to help him feel
conﬁdent in his role during the birth of his baby and his role as a
parent. Remember to have dad enroll in Boot Camp for New Dads.
This class is just for him. No females are allowed unless they are
less than 2 feet tall! In this class, veteran dads and their babies
show rookie dads “the ropes.”

WAITING FOR BABY
Learn relaxation methods and
develop techniques for a healthy
and comfortable pregnancy.
Planning for the Hospital Admission
Things to remember:
• Enroll in the FirstSteps Educational Series classes. (Learn how on page 7)
• Pre-Register for Your Hospital Stay. It facilitates the admitting process and saves time.
The Pre-Admission Form is provided in the back of this guide for your convenience.
To register online, all you have to do is log on to www.SAHealth.com and click
“Patient Information” then click on “Pre-Register.” From there, you’ll be asked to answer
a few simple questions about your physician, procedure to be performed, employer and
insurance carrier. After you’re done, you can submit your form via a conﬁdential, secure
server, ensuring that your private information stays private. Expectant mothers can
pre-register for delivery at Methodist Hospital, Metropolitan Methodist Hospital or
Methodist Stone Oak Hospital. When you arrive at the hospital, all you’ll need to do is
identify yourself and check in. It’s that easy!
• Financial Arrangements. Have questions about your insurance coverage? Our ﬁnancial
counselors are available to help you. If you do not have health insurance or maternity
coverage, OB Prompt Pay may be an excellent option for you. OB Prompt Pay gives
families the opportunity to pay a reduced fee for the birth of their baby and the hospital
stay of both mom and baby. The entire amount must be paid at the time of discharge.
It includes hospital services and medications only. Physician services are not included.
(some restrictions may apply.) Please feel free to call the ﬁnancial counselors for any
questions and for more information about this and other services.
For your convenience, a ﬁnancial counselor is available within the Labor and Delivery Unit
at Methodist Hospital for advice, OB Prompt Pay information, and payment on private or
deluxe rooms, or suites. Family members may also visit this department at the time of discharge
for discharge paperwork.
If you are delivering at Methodist Hospital, the ﬁnancial counselors can be reached at
210-575-4076. If you are delivering at Metropolitan Methodist Hospital, the ﬁnancial
counselors can be reached at 210-757-2087. If you are delivering at Methodist Stone Oak
Hospital the ﬁnancial counselors can be reached at 210-638-2128.

You & Your Doctor - Physician Facts
Methodist Healthcare delivers more babies
than any other health care provider in
San Antonio. Our experienced staﬀ looks
forward to welcoming your new baby.
We know how important it is for you to
have all the information you need to choose
the right hospital and doctors* for you and
your baby. Since you have this FirstSteps
Pregnancy Guide, you’re probably already
familiar with your obstetrician, and the
fact that your doctor delivers at a Methodist
Healthcare hospital.
Remember, you’ll need to choose a
pediatrician before your baby arrives.
Please refer to page 14 for a detailed
list of questions you may want to ask
to help you select your baby’s doctor.
Peek-a-Boo Tour
When you’re ready to have your baby, it will be an emotional and exciting time for your entire

San Antonians consider the physicians
practicing at Methodist Healthcare
hospitals the best. We agree. Along
with your doctor, we want to help you
have a healthy and a safe pregnancy. You
can ask your doctor about your diet and
exercise, the plan for your baby’s birth,
and any unusual symptoms you may have
during your pregnancy. The more your
doctor knows, the better he or she can
help you. We also recommend you enroll
in our FirstSteps Educational Series to
help prepare you for your baby’s birth.
* Physicians practicing at Methodist Healthcare
facilities are independent practitioners and are
not employees or agents of the System.
13
Don’t forget to choose a pediatrician
before your baby’s arrival.
Delivering at a Methodist Healthcare Facility
Whether you have chosen to have your baby at the Women’s
Pavilion at Methodist Hospital, the Women’s Pavilion at
Metropolitan Methodist Hospital or Methodist Stone Oak
Hospital–rest assured you have selected hospitals that are part
of the most preferred health care system in San Antonio.
Choosing Your Baby’s Doctor
Your baby will need to be examined by either a pediatrician or family practice physician within
the ﬁrst 24 hours after birth and again, prior to discharge. Remember, your baby’s doctor will
be very important as your baby quickly grows over the next few years. You’ll want a doctor you
feel comfortable with when discussing your child’s health. So, don’t hesitate to ask questions!
Here are some things to consider when choosing your baby’s doctor:
• Does your current health plan include the physician of your choice?
• Does your current health plan include all the Methodist Healthcare hospitals?
• What is the doctor’s viewpoint on infant feeding?
• Who takes the call when the doctor is not on duty?
• When are “well baby” check-ups and immunizations scheduled?
• What does the doctor consider a “sick baby?”
• What is the procedure for an emergency?
• Do the doctor and his staﬀ make you feel comfortable?
Today, it is important to make sure your pediatrician
or family practice physician is a provider under your
health care plan and at a Methodist Healthcare facility.
Should you need physician proﬁles to help in selecting your
baby’s doctor call the Methodist Healthcare HealthLine
at 210-575-0355 or 1-800-333-7333 or log onto
www.SAWomensHealth.com and click on “Find A Doc”.

BABY’S ARRIVAL
In the moments following your
baby’s birth, we encourage you to
get acquainted with each other.
The Hospital Stay
Visitation. During your hospital stay we want your family to
feel welcome and part of this wonderful celebration of new life.
Your baby’s dad or another person you designate may stay with
you overnight in our private rooms, deluxe rooms, or suites.
Big brothers and big sisters of the baby are also encouraged
to visit mom and baby!
Methodist Healthcare supports and participates in the Mother/Baby Care program, which
helps mother and baby get close to each other. Our post partum rooms are specially designed for
this purpose: to give both mother and baby plenty of “getting-to-know-you” time. Remember,
your baby has a unique personality. Babies are like a puzzle: the more time you spend getting to
know them, the easier the pieces fall into place. And a large portion of successful parenting is
simply having the conﬁdence to take care of your baby.
Mother/Baby Care. In order for a mom and dad to learn about their newborn baby’s behavior
and care, the baby needs to be with them. Mother/Baby Care helps you and your baby get oﬀ to
a great beginning by getting to know each other from the start.
Birth Certiﬁcates. The birth certiﬁcate registrar will obtain information needed for the completion
of the birth certiﬁcate from appropriate sources. Sources include the mother or biological father of the
child, or the information may be obtained from the immediate family under special circumstances.
The birth certiﬁcate department has valuable information regarding the following:
• Adoptions
• Acknowledgement of Paternity (unmarried couples)
• Texas Immunization Registry
Please call at 210-575-4133, for further information and/or brochures.
Mother/Baby visiting hours – Metropolitan Methodist Hospital:
9 am – 9 pm*
For more information about visiting hours call 210-757-2200.
Mother/Baby visiting hours – Methodist Stone Oak Hospital:
Visiting hours are ﬂexible depending on mother’s condition.
Going Home. It’s ﬁnally time to take your new baby home.
When you and your baby are ready to be discharged, the following
details need to be taken care of before you leave.
• The baby’s doctor and your doctor need to write discharge orders.
• Discharge papers are completed at the nurse’s station and can be
obtained from your nurse.
The Nursery
• Mom will need to sign baby’s identiﬁcation form.
Remember you must choose a pediatrician before your baby’s arrival. Your baby’s physician will be
notiﬁed of your baby’s birth and provide instructions for your baby’s care while you’re in the
hospital. After delivery, you and your baby will go to the Mother/Baby Unit.
• Notify your nurse when you are ready to get your baby dressed
to go home.
Newborn Nursery. The Newborn Nursery may seem somewhat empty at our hospitals.
This is because we encourage moms to get acquainted with their babies by spending this
important time together. It’s a good time for you to ask questions and learn from your nurses.
Occasionally, it may be necessary for your baby to be returned to the nursery.
• Notify the nurse’s station when you and baby are dressed and
ready to leave the hospital.
Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). If your baby needs special care or treatment, our
Newborn Intensive Care Unit - Level III Nurseries at Methodist Hospital, Metropolitan
Methodist Hospital and at Methodist Stone Oak Hospital are staﬀed and equipped to meet
those needs. We have neonatologists or neonatal nurse practitioners in the hospital 24 hours a
day and you are encouraged to be actively involved in your baby’s care.
18
Mother/Baby visiting hours – Methodist Hospital:
9 am – 9 pm*
For more information about visiting hours call 210- 575-4000.
• Either your nurse or an escort will take you to your car. You
will be taken out by wheelchair, with your baby in your arms.
• A cart will be provided to carry your personal items.
• You must have an infant car seat securely placed in your vehicle.
*Dad or a guest can stay overnight if mom is in a private room.
