I registered at the hospital today. One more thing off of my plate and one step closer to delivering my second child. Here’s a quick story of how my registration began…
I showed up at the hospital with my husband and son. As we walked inside we reminisced about how my husband didn’t drop me off at the emergency room door when I was in labor the first time; instead, I walked from the parking garage to the emergency room, stopping every couple of minutes to have a contraction (if I remember correctly, I told him I was fine and didn’t need to be dropped off). Laughing at the memory, I headed toward the admittance desk, where a young man in his mid 20s worked alongside an older gentleman, who happened to be helping another patient. As I approached, the young man asked, “How may I help you?” In good fun, I replied, ” I’m in labor,” thinking he would realize that my smiling face and casual stroll contradicted what a woman in labor looks and acts like. He didn’t put it together and panic flashed across his face. He quickly stated that it was his first day, then frantically looked for someone to help him. Not wanting to terrify the poor guy, I quickly said I was joking and that I needed to preregister. The blood came back to his face as he smiled, incredibly relieved, and grabbed the older gentleman to come and help him.
I don’t know if registering is mandatory prior to giving birth, but doing it ahead of time takes a lot of weight off your shoulderss. When you’re ready to give birth you don’t want to be dealing with paperwork, nor do you want your husband stuck doing it, either. I believe most doctors tell you to register ahead of time, at least here in Nevada they do.
Registering at the hospital is easy. They take copies of your driver’s license and insurance card and have you fill out one form about yourself, your husband, an emergency contact, and insurance. The other couple of papers were for the privacy act, admittance into the hospital for both you and your baby, and an HIV test approval form should someone accidentally get stuck with your blood during labor. All in all, they’re pretty painless forms to fill out, and it took us less than 15 minutes to complete them.
In addition, I was sent home with a living will. It’s not mandatory paperwork, but it is a good idea to complete it and take it with you when in labor. You never know what could happen during delivery, and if you have fill out a living will and discuss the possible course of action, it can make things a whole lot easier for you and your spouse. We should all have one of these done and in our safety deposit boxes, but most of us never do. Should your hospital not have a form for you, there are forms online for free. Here are a couple of sites where you can print free living wills:

http://www.lectlaw.com/forms/f115.htm
http://findforms.com/search.php?q=living+wills+nevada (Enter your state to find the appropriate form)
Along with completing a living will, it’s wise to complete a power of attorney form (see the last link above). Remember that both forms are pretty basic; if you want an extremely thorough will you should see an attorney and put together a trust outlining all of your needs and wants. Also, notarize any legal forms with a witness to prove that they are legit.
I have completed both forms and discussed them with my husband, just in case anything happens during labor and delivery. Please don’t blow this off; being prepared can help everyone involved. Think of it as a positive gift you are giving your child.
