Maternity Services
So you're having a baby. Congratulations! You're probably checking out local maternity centers to decide where you want to deliver your baby. We designed Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center's maternity services with your -- and your baby's -- health and comfort in mind. Check out what we offer -- and you'll want to experience our luxurious delivery rooms, experienced and caring staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and parenting classes for yourself. To make preparations for delivery at Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, consult with your OB-Gyn and pre-register by completing this form.
Baby stays with you...
At most hospitals, after a short time the staff whisks your baby away to do tests and measurements, and then baby stays in the nursery. At Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, we do all the necessary tests at your bedside, and baby stays with you during your entire stay so you can bond. This also keeps dad with the family, instead of running back and forth from the delivery room to the nursery. What a perfect way to enjoy being together as a family for the first time!
...But only when you want him to
No matter how excited you are to be with your new baby, every new mom needs some time to rest after delivery. If you prefer, our experienced staff will care for your baby in the nursery so you can nap, and bring your little one back to you when you're ready.
Delivery room - or luxury hotel room?
When moms-to-be tour our facilities, they're always surprised at the size of our delivery rooms. And not only are the rooms big -- they're warm and inviting, and are set up like hotel rooms with a bassinet for baby, a warmer so your baby doesn't become chilled while we do the necessary tests and procedures right in your room, a sofa for dad to sleep on, and chairs for all the visitors who want to come and coo over your new baby.
A nurse for your baby.
At most hospitals, there are two labor and delivery nurses in the delivery room whose job it is to take care of mom and, well, deliver the baby. At Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, we replaced one of those nurses with a specially trained Newborn Nursery or Special Care Nursery nurse whose job is to look after the baby's health. While the labor and delivery nurse is there for mom, the specially-trained neonatal ICU nurse is there to make sure all is well with the baby. This nurse is trained to pick up on subtle cues that a baby may need extra help.
Our state-of-the-art equipment gives you peace of mind.
As a new hospital, we have all the latest and greatest equipment to help keep you and baby safe and healthy. While in labor we are monitoring the baby via fetal monitor strips. The mom is wearing the fetal monitor bands/straps around her waist which enables us to trace contractions and baby heart rate. This information can be seen by the physician on their phone or computer which enables them to have the most current information on the status of mom's labor (contractions) as well as the baby's heart rate.
Take our online documentation system: Your baby wears a fetal monitor strip around his wrist that the doctor can scan into his phone or computer to get instant details on your baby's medical needs. Everything the physicians and nurses do, they can document on the strip so everyone stays abreast of new developments in your baby's health and treatment.
Spotsylvania RMC - a class act.
We offer classes in childbirth, nutrition, and parenting for moms-to-be -- as well as classes for their partners and children. After all, a new baby impacts the lives of everyone in the family, and we want to help you make sure that you and your family feel confident in your new roles as mom, dad, or sibling. Our classes are taught by our staff -- not outside instructors -- so you can start developing relationships with the professionals you'll encounter during your stay here.
