Customized Birthing Experience

Soon-to-be parents arrive at the West Tower. From that moment forward, we will make sure your birth experience is as individual as you and your baby. We put your safety and wellbeing first, while supporting your preference for all natural, epidural, or vaginal delivery, even if you’ve had a previous cesarean section. During a routine delivery, we can provide natural and assisted birthing services to support your plan.

A Safe Delivery

Most deliveries are problem-free, but if routine labor develops into an emergency, there’s no safer place to deliver than The Woman's Hospital of Texas:

  • Patients receive continuous electronic fetal monitoring using GE Centricity systems. Those same feeds are also monitored at a central station by the Charge Nurse.
  • Our Labor and Delivery Antepartum nurses are certified in fetal monitoring, neonatal resuscitation, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
  • Maternal-fetal medicine specialists expertly resolve the most serious complications, such as preterm labor, pre-eclampsia, and placenta problems.
  • Should they be needed, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and other specialists are available 24-hours a day.
  • A NICU with the highest level of care available for newborns who are premature, critically-ill or have a life threatening health condition.
  • Our "Code Pink" infant security system ensures the safety of your newborn alerting us to any unauthorized movement of your child.

A Time to Bond

We make mother-baby bonding a priority. As a designated  Baby-Friendly Hospital, our policies and care practices meet the gold standard for mother and baby care practices related to breastfeeding.

  • Newborns stay close to their mothers so that they can breastfeed as soon as they are ready.
  • We support rooming in where healthy babies and their mothers stay together day and night for bonding and care.
  • All of our postpartum nurses have completed several hours of breastfeeding education.
  • Lactation consultants are also available 24/7 to discuss beneficial techniques and to help you through those first few breastfeeding sessions.
