About Trinity's Women's Health &
Birth Center
The
Women's Health & Birth Center is proud to offer total maternity
care. Our specially qualified staff of dedicated nurses and physicians
guides you and your family through a comprehensive education program
and the childbirth experience. At the Women's Health & Birth
Center you deliver your baby in a specially designed childbearing
room for your entire hospital stay: admission procedures, labor,
delivery, recovery. Your post-partum stay is in a speciually
designed room that makes the family experience one you will always
remember.
Our private childbearing rooms
are equipped for the entire birth experience. All forms of pain
relief except general anesthesia may be provided in this room.
The childbearing room also has the capacity for fetal monitors,
radiant infant warmers, and life support technology, if required.
Cesarean deliveries are performed in the Women's Health &
Birth Center in a modern, state of the art surgical suite, with
labor and postpartum care provided in a Women's Health & Birth
Center Suite. The surgical suite may also be used by those wishing
a more traditional birth experience.
Private Rooms
Upon
arrival at the Women's Health & Birth Center, expectant mothers
are admitted directly to a beautifully decorated, private room.
Each room is spacious and attractive, with an attached bathroom.
We know that having your own room gives your family the privacy
to fully share and enjoy this important life event.
All rooms feature solid oak furniture,
including birthing beds, which adjust to various labor and delivery
positions to help you be more comfortable. Rocking chairs, bassinet,
a sleeper chair for partners, and warm, friendly staff all help
create a pleasing, restful environment.
The Family Invitation
Fathers are encouraged to stay
at the hospital; sleeping accommodations are provided at no extra
charge. In order to allow your children and the baby's grandparents
to become acquainted with your new baby, family visiting hours
are from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Extended family and friends are
welcome to visit from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM daily.
Mothering and Baby Nursing
At
the Women's Health & Birth Center, rooming-in is flexible
and designed to meet your individual needs. You and your family
are partners with us in the care of your baby. If YOU want to
rest or have time alone, we can care for your baby in our well-equipped
nursery near your room.
In the Women's Health & Birth
Center, a specially trained perinatal nurse is assigned to each
mother and baby to provide personal, individualized care. Extra
time and teaching are integral parts of the attention we give
all families.
Going Home
After discharge, we know that questions
often arise and it is good to have someone with whom you can talk.
But even more, we are interested in you and we want to provide
as much care and assistance as we can during this special time
in your life. Once home, a perinatal nurse from the Women's
Health & Birth Center
is available for consultation through telephone calls to all patients.
Simply call 740-264-8040 at anytime of the day or night if you
need assistance or information.
