Advanced Fetal Monitoring
 Our state-of-the-art fetal monitoring system allows us to provide comprehensive, patient-focused care and data management throughout your labor. Using the Philips OBTraceVue System – a system that is normally found only in large teaching hospitals – your doctor and nurses can access vital information wherever it’s needed – at your bedside, at the nurses’ central station, in your physician’s office, or even in his or her home. TraceVue gives us easy access to well-organized information so we can concentrate on providing you with the highest quality of care.
Pre-Natal Testing
Concerns about having a normal healthy baby are completely natural. Fortunately, a number of tests are available to reassure you and keep you informed throughout your pregnancy. We can provide all necessary and appropriate pre-natal testing at all stages of your pregnancy including:
- Blood work testing
- Glucose tolerance test
- Ultrasound
- Rhogam – RH negative
- Non-stress test
24-Hour Anesthesia
We provide 24-hour anesthesia. Whether you desire an epidural during labor, or require pain control during a C-section, we can administer precise and effective pain management, without making you drowsy, so you can interact with your newborn and enjoy those special first family moments.
HUGS® Infant Protection Security System
 The Xmark® Hugs system provides an unprecedented level of security for your newborn. With this easy-to-use system, your nurse will attach a tag around your baby’s ankle at birth. Your baby will then be automatically enrolled in the system, and you can be sure that, throughout your stay, your newborn will be safe.
Lactation Assessment and Counseling
While you’re here, our Certified Lactation Counselors are available to make sure you’re comfortable with nursing and familiar with proper techniques. Deciding how to feed your baby is a highly personal choice, however. So whether you choose to breast or bottle feed your baby, The Maternity Center will support your choice and provide you with all the information you need to ensure that your baby feeds successfully.
We also accommodate lactating moms after discharge, whether they have delivered here or elsewhere. Contact us, to arrange for an appointment with one of our Lactation Counselors. Your visit is covered by most health insurance plans.
The Maternity Center OR
For C-sections or twin births, we offer our patients a state-of-the-art Operating Room right in The Maternity Center. Being able to remain on the floor for your C-section is a major convenience. Our nurses are specially trained to assist your physician in the OR, so you will receive one-to-one care, even for a C-section.
