Jayson David Charles Black Dog was the first baby born at Sidney Health Center in 2013. Marissa DeMarrias and Ceejay Black Dog of Fort Kipp welcomed their baby boy on January 4 at 12:48 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds 4.4 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long. Jayson joins two brothers, Ronnie and Thomas.
For being the first baby born at Sidney Health Center in 2013, Jayson and his parents received a gift basket full of baby items valued at more than $200 from the Sidney Health Center Volunteers.
Although Jayson was the first baby born in 2013, 2012 was a busy year for the obstetric department. In the past year, 146 babies were delivered at Sidney Health Center averaging 12 babies per month. Seventy-two of the babies were girls while seventy-four were boys.
The Sidney Health Center obstetric and newborn units feature Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum (LDRP) rooms. These rooms are equipped with Jacuzzi tubs and Hill-Rom birthing beds. During labor, options for pain medication are offered. A trained and experienced OB and Nursery Staff is available 24 hours a day.
The obstetric department also offers a One-Day Childbirth Class four times per year. Instructors, Joyce Schulz, RN and Katharine King, RN will review the following topics: relaxation, anatomy and physiology of childbirth, types of delivery, anesthesia, breast feeding and child care. The session is free of charge; however, donations up to $25 are gladly accepted to cover expenses.
