The
Birthing Center
Choosing
St. Vincent Hospital for your baby's delivery will give you
peace of mind. As part of the hospital's Women's Services Center,
the Birthing Center offers expert obstetrical care provided
in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The
Birthing Center's private birthing rooms are spacious, tastefully
decorated and feature many comforts of home, including a private
bath, comfortable furniture and a television.
You'll
recover in a large, private room with a shower, television and vanity.
If your doctor determines a cesarean section birth is necessary,
specially equipped surgical suites are located next to the birthing
rooms. Should your baby need special care, the newborn intensive
care unit is adjacent to the birthing rooms.
While
you are hospitalized, you will be encouraged to keep your baby with
you as much as you desire. The nursing staff will help you learn
how to care for your baby and prepare you to return home. Lactation
specialists are available to support you while you learn to breast
feed your infant. There also are a variety of infant care programs
that run continuously on a closed-circuit channel on the television
in your room.
