Labor and delivery

Through this program, our women's care specialists offer high-risk pregnancy care, as well as educational opportunities for you and your support partner.

High-risk pregnancy care

A pregnancy may be considered high-risk if you or your baby have an increased chance of a health problem or medical complications.

If you have concerns about carrying your baby to term or have other potential risks associated with your pregnancy, your obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) may refer you to our high-risk pregnancy doctors. These specialists are called perinatologists or maternal-fetal medicine physicians.

Our perinatologists provide personalized high-risk pregnancy care, including:

• An assessment of conditions that may compromise your pregnancy
• Diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy-related complications affecting you, your baby or both of you
• Management of any preexisting conditions that may be complicated by pregnancy
• Follow-up care after birth to ensure you and your baby are recovering and doing well

When you're expecting a baby, you can never be too prepared. Our childbirth education classes can help you prepare for birth and taking your little one home.

Online classes

Learn in your space, at your pace. We offer eClasses, such as Understanding Birth, Understanding Breastfeeding and Understanding Your Newborn. (Some fees may apply.)

In-person classes

These classes are taught by a registered nurse educator at our hospital. The in-person classes we offer include Understanding Birth, Understanding Breastfeeding and Understanding Your Newborn. (Some fees may apply.)

You can view our maternity classes or browse our free information on birth stories online.

Our private birthing suites and postpartum rooms provide a warm, welcoming setting for expectant parents. Your labor, delivery and postpartum care all take place within our spacious and comfortable rooms.

You and your baby will stay together in our postpartum unit.

Each of our birthing suites and postpartum rooms include:

• A private restroom with a shower
• Ample storage
• Free wireless internet access
• High-definition TV
• Plenty of room for visitors, including sleeping accommodations for a loved one
• Room service

Your newborn's safety is just as important as their health. We offer high-quality maternity services that will give you a peace of mind after delivery. Our facility is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the best possible start for your baby.

Advanced remote monitoring

Our monitoring equipment allows obstetricians to access vital, up-to-the-second information, such as your baby's heart rate and your contraction patterns. While you are in labor, your physician can use a smartphone to monitor the condition of you and your baby directly from your labor and delivery room.

Electronic visitor ID system

Our electronic ID tracking system helps increase security. As visitors enter the hospital, our staff scans their photo IDs into a database and creates a visitor's pass with a photo.

Infant protection system

Our electronic security system enhances your baby's safety anywhere in the obstetrics unit. If an infant is carried toward an exit door, the electronic tagging system automatically triggers an alarm, activating magnetic door locks and holding selected elevators.

If your baby needs extra support and monitoring after birth, we are equipped to provide skilled, yet gentle care in our NICU.

Our NICU offers 12 beds and is staffed by specialists who are highly trained to care for premature and ill babies. We also offer an advanced video-monitoring system so you and your family can watch your baby in real-time, even if you aren't right there.

Pregnancy and birth are wondrous and lifechanging experiences. Even so, many women experience the "baby blues" after birth, which may be described as feelings of sadness and fatigue. However, if these feelings last for more than a short time, it could be postpartum depression.

If you feel you may have postpartum depression, you're not alone. Postpartum depression is common. In fact, about one in eight women report having postpartum depression symptoms.

We recommend talking with your OB/GYN or nurse if you experience postpartum depression symptoms. Our team prioritizes helping you get the support and resources you need to feel better. Seeking help is the first step to feeling like yourself again.
