Your birthing experience

At the Pregnancy, Birthing and Newborn Centre, you and your baby are at the centre of everything we do. If you have specific preferences or wishes for your birthing experience, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. Some of our expectant parents arrive with specific ideas of how they would like their birth experience to unfold. Others prefer to approach the process more organically. Your care team, in particular, your dedicated primary nurse, will talk with you and ensure your wishes are reflected in your birthing experience.

If medical complications arise during your delivery, we will do our best to reflect your birth preferences. But we might have to make adjustments to keep you and your baby safe. We are in an acute care hospital so we have access to other services if you or your baby need them. We will always involve you in any decisions surrounding your care.

Single room maternity care 

We offer single room maternity care for our pregnant parents. This means you will labour, deliver your baby, and recover in the same private room. You will have access to your own bathroom and shower. If you have a caesarean section, you will have a private room for your hospital stay. This is after your initial recovery after surgery.
