Supportive labor and delivery at the Center for Maternal & Newborn Care

We know you’re excited to welcome your baby into the world, and so are we. Our labor and delivery team helps you give birth safely and confidently. At Penn Medicine Princeton Health (PMPH), we’re with you every step of the way, listening to your needs and providing personalized care to you and your baby.

Your team may include experts from obstetrics and maternity care (OB/GYNs), anesthesiology (pain medicine experts), midwifery, and nurses specialized in maternal and newborn care. Our spacious and private labor and postpartum suites have advanced safety features, comfortable furnishings, and hotel-style amenities. You’ll enjoy beautiful views from the top-floor windows as you recover and bond with your baby.

Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists are here to care for individuals with high-risk pregnancies. If your baby is born prematurely or needs extra care, the skilled team in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helps them grow and heal.

Princeton Medical Center earned The Joint Commission’s prestigious Advanced Certification in Perinatal Care. This certification reflects our commitment to achieving exceptional outcomes for all women and babies, whether you have a routine or complicated pregnancy.

Delivering your baby at the Center for Maternal & Newborn Care at PMPH

Whether you’re a first-time parent or a seasoned one, we help you know what to expect during your time at PMPH. Our childbirth and parenting education classes can help you and your family prepare to welcome a new baby. We offer a wide range of classes, including virtual and in-person birthing courses, infant care education, Daddy Boot Camp™, and sibling classes to help everyone transition into their new role.

Advanced care after birth complications

Childbirth can bring some unexpected challenges. Whether your baby was born prematurely or you experienced a difficult delivery, we help your baby heal and provide specialized care to support your postpartum recovery.

NICU

Babies with special needs receive care in our Level III NICU. Neonatologists (specialists who care for sick and premature infants) from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) care for your baby 24/7. The NICU staff can care for babies born early and those who need advanced neonatal care.

Your baby’s needs and condition determine how long they’re in the NICU. We know this time is difficult for your family. We provide amenities like overnight accommodations and areas for breastfeeding and pumping to make this time easier. When you can’t be at the hospital, we offer AngelEye live-stream video and message technology. AngelEye allows you to see your baby anytime and receive messages from their care team on any device.

Many parents benefit from NICU Social, a monthly support group for families with children in the NICU. Parents who have previously had a child in the NICU at Princeton Medical Center share their experience, introduce their child, and provide support. You may find reassurance from these parents who have been where you are now and have a healthy, thriving child thanks to the advanced care of our NICU team.

Pelvic floor recovery

Sometimes, childbirth can cause symptoms like pelvic discomfort, urine leakage, and pain during intercourse. We provide specialized care to help you recover from pelvic pain or a pelvic floor disorder.

You can make an appointment with one of our experienced pelvic floor experts, who can help you restore your pelvic health and function. We also offer a six-week class taught by a pelvic floor therapist that promotes pelvic floor strength and improved posture. You must be at least six weeks postpartum to participate.
