Labor,
Delivery, and Recovery Rooms
At the Women's Health Institute at Memorial
Health University Medical Center, we want your birthing experience
to
be joyous, memorable, and as
comfortable
as possible.
We allow you to labor, deliver, and recover all in the same room.
These rooms are bright, clean, and have cozy home-like accents.
Each labor/delivery/recovery room is private and comfortable, but
can quickly be transformed into a high-tech delivery suite. Our
rooms feature:
• Adjustable beds that enable you to labor in different positions
• Special lighting to enhance relaxation
• Jacuzzis
• Sleeper chairs for Dad
Operating Suites
If an emergency arises during labor and delivery, you
and your family can be quickly escorted down the hall to one of our Cesarean
birth suites. Your labor nurse will continue to provide your care during surgery
and recovery.
Mother/Baby Rooms
Several hours after delivery, you will be moved to
a private room in our Mother/Baby area, where you will spend the remainder of
your hospital stay. In our Mother/Baby area, specially trained nurses care for
you and your baby. Your baby may stay in your room with you, or, if you need
some time to yourself, your baby can be cared for in our newborn nursery. Our
Mother/Baby rooms include:
• Special sloped sinks and hand-held shower wands that make it easy for
you to bathe your new baby
• Overhead heat lamps to keep your little one warm
• Whirlpool tubs and private bathrooms
• An overstuffed chair that folds out into a bed for Dad
• Color television sets with cable
• Telephones
• Access to an in-hospital video system that allows you to order programs
about newborn care
In addition, we offer comfortable waiting
rooms for your guests. We encourage grandparents, siblings, and
others to visit you and your new baby. |
