Childbirth Facilities at Pennsylvania Hospital
From low-intervention birthing rooms to fully
equipped operating rooms for emergency situations,
Pennsylvania Hospital offers a rang of prenatal
options for each woman's unique needs. The Labor
and Delivery Unit provides quality medical care
in a relaxing modern setting. This unit features
a maternity admissions area that offers mothers
privacy and comfort for their early labor examination.
Our homelike labor and deliver rooms offer mothers
the convenience of staying in the same room before
and during birth and for a short period after
delivery. Each room has a warm, comfortable atmosphere
with a private bath, rocking chair and soft décor.
All necessary medical equipment for mother and
baby is stored out-of-sight until needed.
The Labor and Delivery Unit includes eight labor,
delivery and recovery rooms, four high-risk labor
rooms and a four-bed recovery area. The unit is
fully equipped for cesarean births that are pre-scheduled
or for emergent cesarean situations.
Pain Management
You have many options when it comes to managing
the pain of labor. Our staff will help you make
pain management choices that suit your individual
needs. Physicians specializing in pain management
(anesthesiologists) are on site 24 hours a day.
Our staff is also trained to coach you through
natural childbirth in which pain medication is
not used.
