What to Expect Delivering at Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin Family Birth Center

After-Delivery Mother and Baby Care

In keeping with our philosophy of family-centered maternity care, your baby can stay with you in your room throughout your entire hospital stay. Our skilled maternal-newborn nursing staff will be available to evaluate and care for your newborn during those times you prefer to rest.

There are several tests performed on your baby prior to leaving the hospital. We participate with the State of Georgia and screen for hearing problems, bilirubin (jaundice) and state-required metabolic screening (PKU) tests. Should any follow-up be needed on any test results, you will be given instructions for care by the nurse or your pediatrician.

Anesthesia Services

Long before delivery, you and your physician will discuss the various anesthesia options available to you for childbirth. We offer complete anesthesia services throughout your labor.

Labor-Delivery-Recovery Rooms

Our private Labor-Delivery-Recovery (LDR) rooms offer comfort, the latest medical technologies and skilled medical teams.

With our one-room birthing experience, your labor, delivery and recovery will be coordinated and take place within the same private, comfortable room. Each room is equipped with the most advanced medical equipment and decorated in a comfortable, home-like style. The LDR room provides a safe, warm and loving environment where the family can relax and bond with your new baby.

C-section Suites – Opening Fall 2022

Should a patient need it, we have a dedicated suite for Cesarean-section deliveries. Conveniently located within our maternity unit, this special delivery room is equipped to handle an emergency without requiring a transfer to another part of the hospital.

Photography and Videotaping

Still photographs of the birth and the newborn after delivery are permitted. No videotaping is permitted in the Cesarean surgical suite. Please check with your physicians and nurses during labor for more information.

Visitation

We welcome and encourage family and friends to visit you during this joyous occasion. We also want to ensure that mom and baby receive proper rest and recovery. Visitation hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Your Baby's First Lullaby

As part of our dedication to making your birth a memorable experience, we have a birthday chime that plays throughout the hospital whenever a baby is born.
