Preparing For Birth

Expecting a Baby? You’ve come to the right place.

Having delivered more than 230,000 babies, Woman’s Hospital offers a level of experience that will set your mind at ease during pregnancy and delivery. So you can concentrate on enjoying the magic of having your baby, while knowing that our dedicated professionals and state-of-the-art technology are there to help you and baby stay safe and healthy.

In each stage of pregnancy you’ve got choices to make: Which doctor is best for you? Which prenatal tests and screenings? What foods to eat or not eat? Is prenatal yoga really your style? Epidural or unmedicated labor? Who will give emotional support during the delivery? And what would you like on the menu for the gourmet dinner served in your room to celebrate the birth? The staff at Woman’s will help you with all of these and more.

Expectant parents, schedule a tour or call Resources for Women at 225-924-8444.
