LABOR & DELIVERY SUITES
Each of our Labor & Delivery suites is warmly decorated and designed to maximize your comfort and privacy. All suites include an adjustable birthing bed, bathroom, shower, rocking chair, color TV, and a comfortable recliner for Dad or a family member to stay overnight. A Jacuzzi whirlpool tub may be requested based on availability.

Within seconds, the cozy bedroom transforms into a high tech delivery suite. When you are ready to deliver, you won’t be moved from your room or taken away from those you want near.

The physicians and obstetrical nurses at Easton Hospital are highly trained health experts who love what they do, and it shows. Our nursing staff is among the most experienced labor and delivery nurses in the area. All our nurses are trained in neonatal resuscitation, and many hold other certifications as well, including advanced fetal monitoring, inpatient obstetrics and lactation.

Cesarean Delivery 
For women who require a Cesarean delivery, our fully-equipped surgical suite is located right within the Family Birth Center. The Cesarean suite contains everything needed for a “C-section,” whether planned or unplanned. You will not have to leave the unit. After delivery and recovery, new mothers are transferred to private rooms for their postpartum stays.

After delivery, you and your baby will be moved to a private room on the unit where you can relax and enjoy your time together. You’ll be surrounded by highly skilled staff in a warm and comfortable environment.

VISITING HOURS
Our liberal visiting hours allow you and your baby to spend the important time following delivery in a family-like atmosphere. The hours are:

• Fathers 24 hours a day.
• Grandparents and siblings  9 a.m. until 8 p.m.
• Other family & friends  Noon until 8 p.m.

The Family Birth Center is a secured unit and access is granted only through the main doors entering the unit. All unit staff wear distinct photo identification badges and follow specific guidelines to assure the security of your newborn.

LEVEL IIIA NICU
Most babies are born healthy and admitted to our newborn nursery. But sometimes babies are born prematurely or with a condition that requires special medical attention.  At the Family Birth Center our Level IIIA Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can accommodate these babies in a specially designed protective environment equipped with monitors, ventilators and isolettes.

In our Level IIIA Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) newborns receive round-the-clock care from specially trained neonatologists (physicians who specialize in the care of newborns) and nurses. Here, modern, state-of-the-art technology is combined with human touch to give “at risk” babies the best start in life.

HELP FOR NEW PARENTS
Before you go home, our nursing staff will be glad to show you ways to feed, dress, bathe and care for your new baby.  Feel free to ask any of our nurses anything about infant care. We also encourage you to take advantage of our closed circuit educational television programming—the Newborn Channel. Program topics include infant care and breast-feeding and serve to reinforce the teaching available from our nursing staff.

Tiny Toes Internet Nursery
We’ll take a special portrait of your baby and post it on our Internet nursery if you like, so friends and family all over the country can share your joy. The service is free and the site is secure; information is posted only after the family is discharged. And neither last names nor addresses are listed.

Nursing care at the Family Birth Center is personal and professional. As you leave, remember that it’s not goodbye.  We will be contacting you to find out how you and your new family are doing.
