OB Nurse Navigator Services
At Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, your OB nurse navigator is committed to enhancing your childbirth experience by walking with you step-by-step through the phases of pregnancy and beyond. A personal nurse navigator is assigned - at no cost to you - to you as your guide throughout your journey. Your navigator offers assistance beginning around your 20th week of pregnancy and continues until you return home with your new baby.
Benefits of the nurse navigator service include:
- Personal tour of the hospital's birth care suites, when it's convenient for you, to help you plan your birth experience
- Visit with the maternity nurse navigator midway through your pregnancy
- Assistance in selecting the prenatal classes that fit your needs and schedule
- One-on-one review of prenatal and childbirth information
- One-on-one review of birth options and family preferences
- Assistance with pre-registration, including helpful tips for selecting a pediatrician
- Information on car seat selection and installation
- One-on-one review of breastfeeding resources, including lactation services, lactation consultant services and products available for purchase or rent (such as breast pumps and other nursing supplies)
- A resource for general pregnancy questions and to discuss any concerns throughout your pregnancy
- Hospital visit or follow-up call by the nurse navigator after the birth of your baby
After you register for this program, our nurse navigator will contact you to schedule your first appointment at a time that is convenient for you.
