Family Maternity Center

Your Stay

After Your Baby is Born

After your baby’s birth, your family and the new baby remain in your private childbirth room for one to two hours. Your nurse will closely monitor you and your baby during the first few hours following delivery. Prior to admission you must select your baby’s physician. If your baby's physician is not on our staff, our full-time staff pediatrician will check your baby each day. When you go home, the baby’s record will be forwarded to your baby’s doctor.

At the Family Maternity Center, rooming-in means you may keep your baby with you as much as you desire—even overnight if you choose. For times when you want privacy or rest, your baby is cared for in our nursery. For your baby’s safety, we request that your baby be placed in the bassinet when being transported to the nursery or when you or your family are not holding the baby. Never leave the baby unattended on your bed.
