Birthing Center

Delivering at LVMC

Giving birth is one of the most memorable times in a woman’s life. We take care of the details, so you can focus on what’s important — your baby.

From private birthing suites to breastfeeding support, you and your family can welcome your new baby in a soothing, comfortable setting. We’re by your side every step of the way.

One Room

"The rooms were comfortable and I loved not having to move from room-to-room. I was in labor in the same room; delivered in the same room and recovered in the same room."

- Dolores B.

With 6 labor, delivery recovery and postpartum (LDRP) suites we are prepared to make your birth as comfortable as possible. You never need to leave your room.

In addition, our goal at LVMC is to prepare you for the transition home as we promote rooming-in for newborns and moms. This means babies stay close to the mother during the entire stay at LVMC, to prepare mothers for discharge and home care.

Pre-Registration

All obstetric patients should pre-register at least 8-to-12 weeks prior to their due date. This will allow the hospital to verify insurance coverage and counsel the patient on various payment options. Validating insurance and billing information prior to the delivery date can reduce a patient’s anxiety upon arrival to the hospital and allow for an easier admission process.

Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP) Suites

These single-patient rooms have private bathrooms and are outfitted with all of the amenities to make you feel at home during your staff. Each room is furnished with a sleeper sofa, high-definition flat-screen television, wireless internet, bathroom bidet, newborn bath sink and more. What makes LVMC stand out from other is our LDRP suites, which allow for every part of care to be done in one room: labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum care, without the need to switch rooms.

Visitor Information

One support person is permitted to stay in your room overnight. You may have 3 visitors present at one time. Additional visitors may wait in the waiting room. All visitors should remain in your room or in the waiting room. Please keep hallways clear at all times. Your baby's siblings are permitted to visit when accompanied by an adult. Other youth visitors must be age 13 or older. During labor, you and other laboring moms may be sensitive to smells, so we ask that visitors dine in the café or in the waiting room. For your safety and well-being, your care team may apply temporary visitation restrictions.
