Before your due date arrives, please don't forget to:
Register at Providence Alaska Medical Center
Please complete and return the pre-admission form as soon as possible. You may mail or return the form directly to the Admitting Desk or the Maternity Center or complete the form on-line.
Arrange for Pediatrician or Family Practioner to care for your new baby
If your care provider is an obstetrician or midwife, she or he will take care of mom only--not the baby. Please make these arrangements by your sixth month of pregnancy. Our Find a Doctor link can help.
Complete childbirth classes
Plan to finish your classes by about your 36th week of pregnancy. Click here for a complete list of childbirth and parenting classes.
Attend a tour of the Maternity Center
Tours are offered every Monday and Wednesday night from 6:30-7 pm and every Thursday and Saturday from 1:30-2 pm expect for major holidays.
Make baby sitting arrangements for your other children when you start labor
Please be aware that there are no childcare facilities in the Maternity Center. If you wish to have children participate in the birth experience, you will need to make arrangements to have one adult per child (under 12 years of age) be present as their support person. This is in addition to the mother's support person. Young children cannot be allowed to remain by themselves in the waiting area or hallway.
Obtain a car seat for your baby
Remember, Alaska Sate Law requires all infants to be in a car seat.
