Sterling Birth Method: Tour of Labor & Delivery
A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Where You’ll Give Birth
Ever wondered what to expect when you walk into labor and delivery? In this video, Dr. Sterling takes you on a virtual tour of the hospital—from triage to postpartum—and helps you get familiar with the space, the equipment, and the team that will care for you.
This isn’t just a tour—it’s a powerful way to reduce anxiety by knowing exactly what’s waiting for you and baby on the big day.
Here’s what you’ll see and learn:
-
The 4 Main Areas of the Hospital:
What triage, labor & delivery, postpartum, and antepartum units are—and when you might be in each -
Inside the Labor Room:
IV poles, oxygen lines, fetal monitors, birth beds, baby warmers, and why your nurse is always typing on a computer -
Comfort Options Available:
From peanut balls and birth bars to showers, warm blankets, popsicles, and the (legendary) hospital ice -
Fetal Monitoring 101:
How external and internal monitors work, what the readouts mean, and how contractions and baby’s heart rate are tracked -
Meet Your Hospital Team:
Labor nurses, postpartum nurses, OBs, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, midwives, MFMs, neonatologists, and the charge nurse (who can help if you need to change your care team)
You’ll leave this class feeling informed, prepared, and empowered to walk into your birth space with confidence—knowing what questions to ask and what support is available.
