Family Birth Center at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor
See our Family Birth Center Video Tour!
Our personalized 'warm and friendly' nursing care has kept generations of families coming back again and again. Couple this with an experienced medical and nursing staff who deliver nearly 4,000 babies annually, and you'll see why St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is the hospital of choice when it comes to having a baby.
New delivery and ancillary rooms opened in July of 2004 provide a comfortable home-like setting for the birth of your baby. The area features 12 modern Labor/Delivery/Recovery rooms, two with Jacuzzi tubs and 10 with Jacuzzi showers. After baby arrives, you'll finish your stay in one of our private mother-baby rooms.
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital also accepts patients with pregnancy complications who require care before they deliver. Rooms are set aside for these patients within the LDR suite, where our staff understands the needs of mothers-to-be.
Our staff includes OB/Gyn and family practice doctors, infertility specialists, nurse midwives and lactation consultants with a genuine commitment to families in our five-county region. Pain management choices include labor epidurals, water treatment, aromatherapy, birthing balls and more.
During your stay on the Mother-Baby Unit, we encourage you to keep your baby in your room. A staffed nursery is available. Keeping your baby in your room and caring for your baby will help you to feel more comfortable once you are at home. Your husband or significant other is encouraged to stay with you and your newborn. You may go home as early as the first day following your delivery.
Just down the hall is our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, should baby be premature or encounter any problems. Here neonatalogists - physicians who specialize in the care of premature or ill newborns - lead the treatment team, ensuring your baby receives the best possible start in life.
