Mother and Baby Care in Corbin, Kentucky

View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

At Baptist Health Corbin,
on our Women's and Children's Unit,

we provide care for women
and pediatric patients.

This includes our GYN patients
as well as postpartum patients.

LDR stands for labor, delivery, and
recovery, so that means when a patient

comes in in labor, they'll come into our
Labor and Delivery Unit and that's where

we'll deliver their babies,
and then they will also go

through their recovery period.

During that period is when the mom
and the babies will do kangaroo care,

also known as skin to skin.

We also offer free prenatal classes
and also we offer some

free breastfeeding classes.

These can be scheduled with our educator.

The childbirth classes will take you
through and prepare you for what you may

experience during childbirth and labor.

And then our breastfeeding classes
are a way to support you during the

breastfeeding process so to get mom more
comfortable with breastfeeding her baby.

In our nursery and NICU,
we have volunteer cuddlers and they

interact with our premature babes as well
as those that may be experiencing

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome refers to
infants that may be exposed to substances

during pregnancy that they
may be withdrawing from.

It feels great to be able to offer these
services to our patients in our community,

because as a mother,
I would love to be able to stay here

at home while my baby is being
taken care of so close to home.
