Obstetrics

Obstetrics is the medical specialty of providing a woman and her baby medical care through pregnancy and childbirth. This includes all aspects of prenatal care, assisting with labor and delivery, and providing care to the mother and baby in the hours after childbirth.

Breastfeeding Assistance

Breastfeeding assistance is when a nurse or lactation consultant can help you get started. A lactation consultant is a health professional with special training in helping women breastfeed.

Nurse Midwifery

Nurse midwifery is the specialization in women's reproductive health and childbirth. Nurse-midwives perform annual exams for women, provide counseling, write prescriptions, and attend births.

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean

If you've already had a cesarean birth (also called C-section), you may be able to have your next baby vaginally. This is called a vaginal birth after cesarean (also called VBAC).

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a special care nursery designed to care for newborns born at an early gestational age or full-term infants that require close monitoring or intravenous antibiotics after birth.

Maternity & Neonatal

Maternity and neonatal services are offered to women and their newborn babies. The goal is to provide infant care and help mothers and fathers provide a loving, nurturing, safe environment for their newborn. They have access to services such as a full healthcare team, the most advanced technology, comfortable birthing rooms, and breastfeeding support.
