Maternity Care
At Lower Keys Medical Center, we know that the birth of a baby can be exciting, rewarding and even a little bit scary. We are here to help make your pregnancy, childbirth and newborn care a positive and safe experience. Our maternity services are provided by obstetricians, a certified nurse midwife, pediatricians, anesthesiologists and mother/baby nurses that will help your family get off to a good start.
You'll find a continuum of care from prenatal to postpartum care, as well as educational opportunities for childbearing families.
Prenatal Care
Maternity care begins at the earliest stage of pregnancy, with prenatal checkups and services based on your specific needs. You'll learn about healthy lifestyles, nutrition and selecting a pediatrician.
Labor and Delivery
Our labor/delivery/recovery rooms are equipped to help your providers give you safe, quality care. From specialized technology to comfortable furnishings, wireless fetal monitoring and dim lighting for your labor, we have your overall experience in mind. The labor & delivery and mother/baby nurses know how important the lifetime memory of your birth experience will be and strive to make it personal, caring and safe.
If a scheduled cesarean birth is planned, you'll meet with a nurse to prepare you for surgery, discuss any questions you may have in advance and make a plan so that your experience will be special and family-centered.
