The things you learn. “Labor & Delivery” is a hospital department. Besides being the place to go when a pregnant woman is in labour, or about to deliver a baby, it’s also a place to go to check on the pre-natal health of the baby if mom-to-be is sick, gets hurt, or anything else happens that might affect the baby. We’ve actually been to L&D 3 times now. Once as part of our hospital tour, once when Dina was sick with the flu, and once when Dina sprained her ankle. Apparently, any fall requires monitoring of baby for 4 hours after the fall. A fall where the belly is impacted requires monitoring for 24 hours.
