Birthing suites

When you arrive at our hospital to deliver your baby, you'll find two skilled medical teams attending to each birth — one for mom and one for baby. Above all, we prioritize both your and your baby's needs, as well as your expectations for the delivery process.

You will begin your delivery in your own private, spacious labor and delivery room, designed with comfort and safety in mind. When your baby is ready to be delivered, your room can quickly be transformed into a high-tech delivery suite. Our rooms also offer:

Birthing balls
Comfortable, adjustable beds
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Sleeper chair for your support person
Special lighting to enhance relaxation

If an emergency situation occurs during delivery, you and your support person will be escorted down the hall to one of our nearby operating rooms.

Specialized care for complicated pregnancies

Sometimes, moms and babies need a higher level of care before, during or after a pregnancy. Our advanced maternity services include:

High-risk pregnancy care — Our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) doctors focus on high-risk pregnancies and pregnant women with chronic health problems.
Neonatology specialists — We employ board-certified neonatologists trained to take care of newborns, especially sick and premature babies.
Southeast Georgia only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) — Sometimes babies require extra attention following birth. We have a Level III NICU inside our children's hospital, so your newborn can receive the expert, dedicated care they need.

Preparing for delivery

Towards the end of your pregnancy, we encourage you to prepare for your baby's arrival by building a hospital bag full of newborn essentials and your personal comfort items from home.
