As you prepare for childbirth and caring for your new baby, we want to touch base with you by email using The Parent Review, our new parent e-newsletter. Each week we'll make sure you have additional support on your journey into parenthood. We think this is the best way for us both to connect regularly.
Documents, web links, and other resources that expecting and new parents will find useful.
Join us as we follow mothers-to-be through routine births and high-risk pregnancies. Then meet women who rely on Hartford Hospital experts and the most advanced technology to diagnose and treat gynecologic disorders.
Going Home Wearing an Orange Bracelet
As part of Hartford HealthCare’s commitment to maternal health, all maternity patients are discharged wearing an orange bracelet that says “I GAVE BIRTH.” Patients are encouraged to wear the bracelet for the first eight weeks after delivery, when the risk for life-threatening complications is highest. This helps healthcare professionals recognize and properly assess symptoms.
