According to Baby Centre, the perfect environment for giving birth is one that is warm, safe, private, quiet and dark. These elements can help to put the soon-to-be mom at ease, helping labor to progress naturally and comfortably.
Offer Entertainment
Labor can be a long and trying experience, and especially early on your patients will appreciate some distractions. Magazines, books, music and television are all great options to provide that will help both parents relax and get comfortable as they wait.
Provide Comfortable Seating
Since labor can last anywhere from just a few hours to more than a day, expecting parents could be spending a great deal of time in their delivery room. And while mom’s comfort is of the upmost important, dad’s should be taken into consideration too. Provide a chair that he will be able to take a nap – and maybe even spend the night in – while he’s waiting for his child to arrive.
Ensure Newborn Safety
The thing that will make both mom and dad the most comfortable? Knowing that their newborn is safe and sound as they sleep in their bassinet. Available in a variety of styles and finishes, Novum Bassinets are a client favorite because of their durability and reliability. All edges are hemmed for newborn safety and deep wells keep the bassinet firmly in place, even if one side is pulled down.
