As any expectant mom knows, the anticipation of the birthing experience is an exciting time, but it can sometimes be overwhelming. At the Family Birth Place at Bentonville, a nurse navigator will help you with the necessary information and tools you need to bring your new baby into the world and into your family. This free program adds an extra layer of one-on-one care for pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care.
Your Journey Through Pregnancy And Beyond
Your nurse navigator is committed to enhancing your experience at Northwest Medical Center – Bentonville by walking with you step-by-step through the phases of pregnancy and beyond. When you sign up, a nurse navigator is assigned to you as your personal guide throughout your journey. Your nurse navigator meets with you at the Family Birth Place around your 20th week of pregnancy, where you will receive a personal tour, one-on-one education to help plan for your birth experience and assistance in registering for free prenatal classes that fit your needs and schedule. Your nurse navigator will meet with you again at the end of your pregnancy to help you with hospital pre-registration and final preparations to make your delivery and hospital experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. After you deliver, you will receive a hospital visit or follow-up call from your nurse navigator to make sure you have a smooth transition back home.
