Maternity Care

The Women’s and Children’s Center LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum unit) at both Mary Washington Hospital and Stafford Hospital focus on celebrating childbirth with a high-tech but soft-touch atmosphere that is safe and secure. Upon arriving, moms are made comfortable in a hotel-like birthing room to experience a family-centered labor, delivery and recovery. Members of the family, including the new baby, will have the opportunity to stay in the same spacious room for the duration of their visit.

We offer:

• 24/7 in-house obstetricians for additional care and coverage
• 24/7 in-house neonatal providers – neonatologists, nurse practitioners and beside nurses that specialize in the care of the newborn
• 24/7 in-house anesthesia providers – anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists
• Wide variety of classes to prepare for childbirth
• Online pre-registration for your hospital stay
• Lactation education

In our LDRP you’ll experience:

• Private, state-of-the-art rooms in a serene, secured environment
• The latest, most advanced technologies to include fetal monitoring systems, pain management delivery and newborn stabilization equipment
• Dedicated cesarean rooms within the unit
• Nurses specially trained in all methods of childbirth as well as the delivery of the comforts and education for the new parents regarding their newborns during post-delivery, ensuring that all mothers and their newborns will have the best continuum of care from admission to discharge.

Stafford Hospital Level II Nursery

Stafford Hospital’s new Level II Nursery is officially accepting babies. Six intermediate-care bassinets are now available to accommodate special-care for smaller, pre-term babies.

Stafford Hospital can now care for infants delivered at 34 weeks or later and weighing at least 2000 grams (approximately 4.4 pounds). Typically these are babies that need time to gain weight and have no further complications. Until now, these babies would need to be transferred to Mary Washington Hospital.

Classes

We offer many classes related to maternity. See our community calendar for more information.
