As the long anticipated day of your baby's birth approaches, you may feel excited, happy, worried
and fearful. Learning what to expect and preparing for the big event are important ways you can
help yourself and your baby.
Choosing to have your baby delivered at Madera Community Hospital will insure you the convenience
that you will need. We offer complete labor and delivery service facilities to insure you a safe
delivery and full recovery. In Madera Community Hospital's Labor and Delivery Department,
experienced, attentive nurses expertly monitor and guide both mother and baby during the entire
birthing process. We offer some of the best services for expectant mothers and their babies. From
childbirth education to a positive birthing experience we are dedicated to providing families with
a warm, relaxed atmosphere in which to experience one of life's greatest moments.
Madera Community Hospital offers:
- Prenatal education
- Maternal Child tour of services
- 4 Labor, Delivery, and Recovery suites
- Operating rooms immediately available for cesarean sections
- Infant security system
- Lactation consultant sessions and education for parents
The concept of family-centered care is advocated throughout the Labor & Delivery unit. The Labor &
Delivery unit is designed to convey a home-like feel and features 4 tastefully decorated, private
labor, delivery and recovery suites. Each Labor and Delivery Room is equipped with equipment for
monitoring mother and baby and for delivery in the room. Most deliveries occur in the private suites,
but the operating room and special care nursery are nearby should a complication arise.
Registered nurses support the family through the birth process. For some mothers that may mean
complex medical intervention, but for many it may mean simple comfort measures, such as leisurely
showers and walking with their family. No matter what the birth experience, labor and delivery nurses
are there to guide and assist Mom.
Education is an important part of the labor and delivery experience as well. Madera Community
Hospital offers extensive classes and parenting resources before and after delivery. Parents can
preview the hospital in the OB Tour and choose from classes in childbirth, breastfeeding and
infant care.
