      Hi there! In government hospitals, they generally don't. If I were you I would just double check because it's something you really want but generally you do a lot yourself in government hospitals 🌷Neither of my babies had a bath in the hospital. Good luck and congratulations ❤️

I'm having my second baby after 10 years (yes, 10 years) Back then I had my grandmother and all the women in my family to guide me as it was my first so it's a blare and now I'm clueless and all alone as I'm a grown woman now so I'm doing all the researching and preparing by myself and your videos have been so helpful Thank you

      Hi Natasha! Thanks for watching ❤️ I’ll make a video about my registration process because mine was a bit different but if you have your documents in place (ID and father’s ID) most government hospitals have a home affairs in hospital to register the birth immediately. Just note they are usually only open Monday to Friday 😊

  • @foundationforleadersassoci6994

    Thanks very informative and what about rumours saying that the nurses can switch babies how true is that 😢

    • @laylaweekly
      @laylaweekly Рік тому

      Hi there, I’m my honest opinion I think it would be very difficult to switch babies because in most cases your baby is with you from birth until you leave. The government hospitals are very pro mom and baby time and that you take of baby yourself. If for whatever reason your baby needs to go somewhere (like my baby went to the NICU for a day) and it’s still a fear you have I can only suggest to pray over your baby and let God protect him from harm when you’re not around. Our God can do anything! The hospitals are very strict though and for that reason limit visitors and interactions with baby 😊
