Anyone pre-registered yet?

jparrish1 · April 2012

I was wondering if anyone had pre registered at the hospital yet? If not, are you going to?

0ashley · April 2012

Yes, I have. Will still have to stop at registration to sign consent forms, but won't have to go through all my demographics, emergency contacts and insurance info.

I go to a hospital on a Navy base so we don't have to pre reg. We just show up when I go into labor. There are only 6 rooms...small hospital....but the birth rate where we are stationed is low, they usually only have 2 occupied at a time.

GracieBlue · April 2012

Yes I did a few weeks ago. It was all done online and the hospital called me to ask a few more questions - but it was super quick!

ebettley · April 2012

I think I may have, but I should double check to be sure.

Thanks for posting this!

Yes! Pre-registered last week at my 34 week appt.

Unfortunately my hospital does not allow you to pre-register. I will do it when I get there to have the baby.

Josie22 · April 2012

My hospital doesn't do it. They keep everything on file from my Dr apts.

We had to pre-register around 20 weeks. The ob's office sends it in, I'm assuming they want to make sure it gets done. If I get there and my pre-registration form is not there, I will be sooo angry.

jc0n15 · April 2012

We don't need to pre register because everything is already on file. I just had to fill out the birth certificate, health proxy and baby doctor info.

georgi611 · April 2012

Yup. We did like, 2 months ago. Yay!

giggles0918 · April 2012

We did a birthing class at the hospital and they gave us a form to fill out and I sent that in around March.

JRogerson · April 2012

I did back in January. Normally I am a procrastinator but with the baby I have actually been able to keep on top of things and since our hospital is so popular I wanted to make sure that I definitely got in.

topaz7777 · April 2012

I did about 2 weeks ago and my OB fussed at me for not doing it back at 20 weeks. I didn't even know to do it then.

mel101 · April 2012

Just did it the other day. It took 5 mins. People made it sound like it was a hassle but it wasn't at all.

courtfsu · April 2012

Yes, we did. I also called to re-confirm that they got my paperwork because with DS, they lost it Sad

. I didn't realize it at the time but I was almost completely dilated and re-filling out paperwork. By the time she got me back in a room and checked me in OB Triage, I was complete. This time I am not taking any chances.

seansgirl2006 · April 2012

Last time around I did it and they still asked me everything again anyways. Such a pain when you are having contractions and in labor. Probably because so many people have things change by the time they are actually admitted (the months between pre-registering)? I'm about to send mine in for this baby. I have been waiting because I have a new insurance starting on May 1.

This!!

jess9802 · April 2012

Yes, I pre-registered a couple of weeks ago, and the hospital already wrote me a letter telling me how much money I need to bring when I come in to have the baby.

laurendom · April 2012

Because my OB is at the hospital it is taken care of from my first appoint.

sam19 · April 2012

Not yet. I'll either pre register at this appointment or my next one. Can't remember which.

strawberrytree · April 2012

Not yet, but thanks for the reminder! We have a L&D class at the hospital tonight and I have an appointment later this week, so I will have two chances to try and remember to ask about it.

selder25 · April 2012

We pre registered a few weeks ago with insurance, emergency contact info, demographics, etc. We have an appointment in a few weeks to go in an sign all the rest of the paperwork: consent forms for IV meds, epidural, c-section, etc. That way during actual labor I won't have to sign anything or fill anything out. When I do go in to labor I can go straight to a room and get settled without registering.

This and what was really annoying was every time I went to L and D they asked the same questions, this was a total of three times, once for non-stress test, once for the Foley bulb insertion and that night I went back to be admitted, on the third time I snapped at the nurse and said what is the point of pre-registering. Never did get an answer

SweetHurricane · April 2012

My OB's office is affiliated with the hospital so all my info is already in the system.

StarFlower110 · April 2012

Yes I have. I got the paperwork from my dr and mailed it in.

acbfreire · April 2012

Yes, on week 28.

JessieCupcake · April 2012

Yes. I got the paperwork when I went for my glucose test. I filled it out and sent it to the hospital maybe a month ago.

alisonann15 · April 2012

Yes, I did it at about 6 months. We are having the baby at a big hospital and they recommend it.

kdjudd · April 2012

My doctor made me pre-registered at 22 weeks so it's been done for awhile now!

RioG1978 · April 2012

We pre-registered on Friday, and got the tour of the place... so glad! It's super, super nice. Labour/delivery/recovery rooms are all in one, whirlpool tubs, all the amenities... like going to the ritz!

And a handy phone number to call so they're all ready and waiting for us when the big day arrives.

ASKSAK · April 2012

Not yet....will do in a couple of weeks when I prepay at the hospital. I can do most of the pre-reg over the phone they said.

kjem182 · April 2012

I filled out the paperwork while I was waiting for my 1 hour glucose test. The parking permit is in our hospital bag, and I'll just give them the name of our pediatrician when we get there (I didn't have one when I filled out the paperwork).
