The Family Birth Place at Mary Washington Hospital offers a blend of advanced technology and a warm, welcoming atmosphere to celebrate childbirth. Our dedicated team strives to create a personalized birthing experience, with nurses trained in various childbirth methods. Rest assured, our round-the-clock staff includes in-house OB hospitalists, anesthesia providers, pediatric hospitalists, and neonatologists, ensuring both you and your baby receive expert care.
Following your baby's arrival, your family, including the newborn, can enjoy staying in the same spacious room throughout your visit. Our family-centered approach promotes bonding and allows you ample time to become acquainted with your baby. Our skilled nurses and pediatric hospitalists from Children’s National Hospital provide care, while certified lactation consultants are available daily to assist new moms with breastfeeding.
Beginning June 3 and throughout much of the summer, we will be undergoing renovations to expand our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to enhance the level of care we provide to our littlest patients. While this expansion is a positive step towards ensuring top-notch care for newborns in need, it does necessitate some adjustments to our facilities.
During this time frame, mothers giving birth will be accommodated in a different unit than our traditional Mother Baby unit. We want to be transparent about the potential changes you may experience as a result of this temporary relocation:
We understand that these changes may cause some concern or inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption to your birthing experience. Please know that our priority remains providing exceptional care to you and your baby during this special time.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these temporary changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to support you every step of the way and ensure that your experience with us is as smooth and positive as possible.
