Wraparound care
Services offered by the Pregnancy, Birthing and Newborn Centre.
The St. Paul’s Hospital Pregnancy, Birthing and Newborn Centre offers wraparound supports for parent and baby. These include prenatal workshops, lactation support, postpartum follow up and mental health support. We also offer coordinated care for more complex pregnancies.
We are one of British Columbia’s provincial centres for high-risk maternal care. Around 20 percent of the babies born at St. Paul’s Hospital are born to parents with complex medical, social or obstetrical needs.
If you are referred to St. Paul’s Hospital because of your care needs, we will connect you to our complex care coordinator. They will be your liaison and main point of contact. Their goal is to normalize your experience of pregnancy as much as possible. They will:
- Develop a care plan to support you through your pregnancy, delivery and postpartum.
- Involve all relevant specialty services in your care.
- Organize diagnostic tests and coordinate appointments.
- Coordinate a one-on-one specialized online workshop to help empower you as a new parent.
- Connect with care coordinators in your local community, as required.
- Refer you to infant feeding resources during pregnancy and after your baby is born.
The team at the Pregnancy, Birthing and Newborn Centre works closely with various specialists to plan for a safe delivery for you and your baby.
If there are any medical concerns, a pediatrician may examine your baby shortly after birth. The pediatrician will also ensure your medications or treatment plans are safe for breastfeeding.
