Our maternity units
If you have a high-risk pregnancy or need more close monitoring during your pregnancy, you may stay with us before your baby is born. You will be closely monitored by maternal-fetal specialists who will work closely with your OB/GYN provider, neonatologists and the rest of your care team to create a plan of care.
