Antepartum - High Risk Suites
Sometimes pregnancy complications such as pre-term labor, pregnancy induced
hypertension or being pregnant with multiples may require bed rest and
close monitoring for both mother and baby. Hospitalization and bed rest
can be a challenge for expectant moms, but important to protect your health
and that of your unborn baby.
Our Antepartum Unit offers specialty care to high risk patients provided
by registered nurses with advanced training. The care is coordinated with
a maternal fetal medicine physician and many disciplines throughout the
hospital including dietary, physical/occupational therapy, pastoral care,
social services, perinatal education and neonatology.
To help enhance the patients stay, there are activities for our bed rest
patients including:

The Ronald McDonald House Day Room located on the 1st floor, south of the Gift Shop is a room created with patients like our
antepartum moms in mind. It is a beautiful space where you can enjoy rest
in a positive atmosphere. In the day room, you will find a television,
comfortable couches, a freezer filled with meals, and kitchen, and laundry
room. These amenities are here to accommodate you during your stay and

Labor and Delivery Suites
Covenant Hospital’s state-of-the-art labor, delivery and recovery
suites are located on the fourth floor. Our private birthing suites are
equipped with all the technology and emergency equipment needed. Each
room is designed for comfort, privacy and safety.
Our approach to care is family-centered. We want to help you and your loved
ones celebrate your new addition to your family in comfort. Our supportive
childbirth environment provides superior care from our registered nurses
with advanced certifications and experience. Your personal labor nurse
will be with you during all stages of labor and delivery, helping you
through contractions and making you as comfortable as possible.
Our patients range from those with uncomplicated deliveries to those who
are experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Through a special relationship
with Covenant Children’s Hospital, we are directly connected to
the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for those needing specialized
care. A team of newborn intensive care physicians and nurses are available
to attend your birth if medically necessary.
Surgical Birthing Suites and Recovery Rooms
For scheduled cesarean births or if an emergency should arise, we have
surgical birthing suites conveniently located on the Labor and Delivery
Unit. You will be cared for, closely monitored and have the opportunity
to experience skin-to-skin with your newborn.
After the cesarean birth you and your support person will be moved to a
comfortable recovery room, which is adjacent to the Surgical Birthing
Suites. You will be cared for, closely monitored and have the opportunity
to experience skin-to-skin with your newborn. Breastfeeding is encouraged
and supported during this special time.
Mother-Baby Suites
After you have either recovered in your private Birthing Suite for a vaginal
delivery or in the Surgical Birthing Recovery Suite you will be welcomed
to one of our private Mother-Baby Suites, where you, your newborn and
support person will be cared for by our specially trained and highly-skilled
mother-baby registered nurses. The majority of our nurses hold advanced
degrees and certifications in maternity care. Our nurses are dedicated
to providing patient-centered care that focuses on both mother and baby.
Nursing staff and certified breastfeeding consultants provide one-on-one
instruction in self-care, baby care and breastfeeding. We provide 24-hour
rooming in for baby whereby your newborn is able to stay with you. We
encourage the bonding of your family and your newborn, and welcome your
support person to stay with you throughout your visit and the participation
of siblings and other family members.
