The Family Birth Place at Mary Washington Hospital focuses on celebrating
childbirth with a high-tech yet soft touch atmosphere. Our team is dedicated
to making your birth experience personal with nurses trained in all methods
of childbirth. With our 24/7 staff of in-house OB hospitalists, anesthesia
providers, and pediatric hospitalists and neonatologists, you can rest
assured that you and your baby will receive expert care.
After your baby arrives, members of the family, including your new baby, will have the opportunity to stay in the same spacious room for the duration of your visit.* Our family-centered approach encourages bonding and time getting to know your baby while receiving care from our expert nurses and Children’s National Hospital pediatric hospitalists. Certified lactation consultants visit our new moms daily to assist with breastfeeding.
