Our recent experience with Labor and Delivery, Maternal Child and the NICU was wonderful. Every nurse, doctor and aid who took care of me and my twins were wonderful. Many went above and beyond to make what was a stressful situation for us as parents manageable. Thank you for all you do!
Highly recommend Labor and Delivery! The nurses and staff were SO nice and accommodating and very helpful. Never once did I feel unsure that I wasn’t 100% in good hands. The delivery rooms were also beautiful and very comfortable.
Best experience for delivering my baby boy. 💙 I can not wait to have my second baby there!
I cannot say enough good things about Mercy Hospital. We delivered a baby there in 2017 and then another just recently. Everyone that we came in contact with: doctors, nurses, secretaries…. anyone at all, treated us like family! Our 2nd baby is in the NICU and the entire labor & delivery/ maternity department has gone out of their way to make us feel comfortable, informed and cared for!! We just love Mercy Hospital and all they have to offer!!!
Midwifery Care
Midwife is a term that literally means “with woman.” Working alongside or in the place of a traditional obstetrician, midwives often provide an extra degree of emotional support during labor. A large misconception about midwifery is that only natural births are performed, when in fact, the midwives at Mercy are devoted to your vision for a successful delivery.
Newborn Nursery
Take the time to soak in the simple pleasure of getting some rest, while it lasts. Should you want them, the services of a nursery are available to monitor, snuggle, and take care of newborns while mom recovers.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy allows women to labor in the specially designed Jacuzzi tubs that are available at Mercy Hospital. This is an effective means of both relaxation and distraction for some women. Thanks to the use of wireless telemetry devices, our nurses are able to safely monitor the baby’s condition while you’re in the water.
Doula Assistance
As members of the birth team, doulas are welcomed to work alongside either a physician or certified nurse midwife, in tandem with Mercy’s labor and delivery nurses. Doulas typically arrive for delivery with expectant mothers, who they have developed a one-on-one relationship with.
Birthing Balls
Birthing and peanut balls are additional tools that can be used by laboring mothers to guide their baby into the correct position, while doubling as a pain relief method.
Epidural Analgesia
An epidural is one of the safest and most commonly used methods of pain management used by women in labor. Epidurals use a relatively low dose of medication, making it a great option to ensure the health of both mother and baby.
