Register for a Birthing Class Attending a virtual childbirth education class can lessen anxiety for new
parents. At MWHC we encourage you to take one of our many classes offered
by certified childbirth educators.
Choose a Pediatrician
Call MWHC Health Link at
540.741.1404 to find pediatricians and family doctors accepting new patients. Please
note: you must have an appointment scheduled with your chosen pediatrician
before you and your baby can be discharged.
Mary Washington Pediatrics in Fredericksburg and
Mary Washington Primary Care and Pediatrics in Ruther Glen are accepting patients.
Car Seat Safety Check One of the most important things you can do is ensure your child is safe
while riding in a vehicle. Prior to your baby’s delivery, find a
certified safety seat technician to install or confirm placement of your
child’s safety seat. Click here to find free local resources and
learn more.
What do I bring to the hospital?
Please bring personal care items such as deodorant, shampoo, slippers,
etc. Do not bring jewelry, money, medications, or items of sentimental
value. You will also need to bring an approved infant car seat and clothes
in which to take your baby home.
Please have a check or money order available for the child’s birth
certificate. Please make the check payable to State Health Department
for the amount of $12. Payment via cash or credit card is not accepted.
