Newborn Care in the Hospital. After your baby is born, a doctor or nurse will perform a series of tests to determine your baby's physical condition. A routine evaluation, called the Apgar test, is used to identify whether your baby needs urgent medical care. After delivery, your baby will also be given a vitamin K shot, eye drops, and newborn screening tests.
According to Dr. Sears, most first-time moms will find that their baby drops somewhere around the last two weeks of their pregnancy. With pregnancies after the first, the baby will drop when labor is ready to begin, since the pelvis has already been stretched with the first delivery. If you're counting down the days until your little one arrives, look for some of these signs that your baby has dropped and that labor will be starting soon.
