At Baptist Health, we want to help you deliver your baby the way you want. Delivering personalized care is about supporting your individual birth preferences while also providing the benefits of modern medicine, especially if things don’t go according to plan.
Communicate with your provider and with hospital staff to create the birth experience you desire. Talk to your team about:
From epidurals to low-intervention methods, we offer a range of options to help accommodate your preferred approach to childbirth.
Bring in your breathing techniques and we’ll provide wireless monitoring options to allow for movement during labor. You are welcome to bring your own birthing ball. We also have a limited number of peanut balls and CUB available.
While we do not have birth tubs, speak with your OB/GYN team beforehand about hydrotherapy in the maternity showers. Some nurses and providers are willing to include this technique on a case by case basis.
As a hospital, we’re able to offer medical pain relief options, including epidurals, anesthesia and IV pain medication.
Our labor and delivery team is there for you throughout your time at Baptist to offer care and support. From our nurses to hospitalists, they go above and beyond for moms and babies.
We provide access to:
Our Labor & Delivery nurses are by your side throughout your childbirth journey, offering comfort, guidance, and expert support. They’re here to help you feel empowered, safe, and cared for, ensuring that you and your baby have the best possible experience.
We have a team of anesthesiologists at the ready for your comfort during delivery. Whether you choose an epidural or another form of pain relief, they’ll work closely with you, helping to make your birthing experience as smooth as possible.
With an onsite OB/GYN specialized in delivering care to pregnant patients, there is always a physician ready to provide immediate, comprehensive care – delivering an extra layer of safety.
We have access to a network of caring pediatricians. They’ll make sure your little one is healthy and answer any questions you have about your baby’s care. Reach out before delivery so they can be there on day one.
You are also welcome to bring in your own midwife or doula to support you during labor, delivery and postpartum.
*Available at Baptist Jacksonville and Baptist South.
Delivering at a hospital doesn’t have to feel cold. While each of our campuses is unique, all of our labor and delivery centers are equipped with high-level of care and comfort for mom, baby and family.
Our comforting birthing suites provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere — inspired by moms like you.
Some moms choose to bring their own items to make their delivery experience more like home. You can bring:
We support new moms with recovery after delivery, including lactation help, maternal mental health resources, support groups and heart health clinic, for both mom and baby's well-being. We have resources both while you are recovering in the hospital and after you go home.
