From the time you discover you're pregnant through the weeks and months after birth, Vejthani Hospital has services to help ensure a safe pregnancy and healthy baby while meeeting your individual preferences and needs.

Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting and personal experiences of a woman's life. For many women, pregnancy follows a routine nine-month course. Some women, however, have what's considered a "high-risk" pregnancy and require specialized care, such as prenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and fetal treatment. Others may experience a miscarriage or undesired pregnancy and seek care at our Women's Option Center.

Services


During your delivery and time in the hospital, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Private birthing suites in our Birth Center have bathrooms with showers and amenities such as refrigerators. Patients typically labor, deliver and recover there. After your recovery, you and your baby move to a private postpartum room, with a deep-soaking tub and chairs that convert into sleepers for family members or guests.

If your newborn needs special medical care, we have one of the nation's finest intensive care nurseries. Board-certified perinatologists, or doctors who specialize in high-risk pregnancies, are available if necessary.

High-Risk Pregnancy

For the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a routine nine-month course, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby. Some women, however, have medical difficulties and experience what is called a "high-risk" pregnancy.

High-risk complications occur in only 6 percent to 8 percent of all pregnancies. But these complications can be serious and require special care to ensure the best possible outcome. Women from across the country and the world come to our Center for Mothers and Newborns for this expertise.

While some problems are unavoidable, our perinatologists — obstetricians with special training in high-risk pregnancy care — work to minimize complications. Our team of doctors, nurses and support staff coordinates all aspects of care from diagnosis to delivery and long-term follow-up.

When necessary, perinatologists collaborate with our world-renowned specialists including anesthesiologists, cardiologists, geneticists and neonatologists, who are pediatricians specializing in the care of sick newborns. Our 50-bed intensive care nursery treats more than 1,000 critically ill infants each year. Our specialists are among the world's most experienced in premature births and in the care of newborns with life-threatening birth defects as well as infants who undergo heart, lung and gastrointestinal surgery.

Our doctors also have special training in treating diabetes in pregnancy, preterm labor, recurrent miscarriages, fetal abnomalities and multiple births.
