Are you preparing to give birth at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary?
As one of Calgary’s leading general hospitals, many expectant mothers choose Foothills for delivery. But did you know that many people get lost trying to find the exact location of the Labour and Delivery Services (Unit 51)? That’s why I’m here to guide you through it clearly.
Labour and Delivery Services : Know Before You Go:
If your OB doesn’t work directly at Foothills Medical Centre and instead practices at an external clinic, you’ll need to go to the hospital’s Labour and Delivery Services on your own once labor begins.
That’s why some people even take a hospital tour in advance—I did too!
Foothills is a large facility, and it’s easy to get confused about which building to go to.
