Aurora Medical Center

Aurora Medical Center Birth Day Center

A very special place for a very special time in your life

We know how important the memory of your child's birth is and strive to make it a precious one.

Our birthing suites are set up to help you feel comfortable in a home-like atmosphere. Your entire birthing experience – labor, delivery and postpartum stay – will take place in the privacy of your very own room. You'll appreciate the comforts of having a special birthing bed that converts into a regular bed, a glider, a crib and additional accommodations so that your loved ones and new baby can be together during your stay.

Services - before, during and after

Classes

We offer many services, programs and classes to prepare expectant mothers and their families for childbirth. Our childbirth classes, offered throughout the year, include:

  • Preparing for Labor, Birth and Beyond
  • Refresher Child Birth Preparation
  • Breastfeeding Your Baby
  • Caring for Your New Baby
  • Big Kids and New Babies
  • Infant Massage

We recommend that you register early for classes, preferably during the first 4-5 months of pregnancy. A support person is encouraged to attend class with you. Classes are open to anyone regardless of where their baby will be born.

Your room

You'll be able to hold and nurse your new baby immediately after delivery as your family remains with you in the privacy of your birthing suite. In fact, you and your family are welcome and encouraged to have your infant in your room as much as you wish.

Family focused experience

You'll find we have a number of flexible labor and delivery options such as traditional birthing methods, Lamaze and epidural-assisted delivery. We believe that labor is a natural event and your personal choices will be honored whenever possible. We'll also be happy to discuss any special arrangements to satisfy the unique needs of your family.

When you're admitted, you can expect an initial evaluation to determine the well-being of your baby. We'll explain, in full, the procedures to be used during your labor and delivery according to the plan you have discussed with your physician. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your birthing.

A registered nurse will contact you within the first 24 to 48 hours to make sure the transition from hospital to home went smoothly.

You and your baby's medical team

Physicians

Your medical team consists of obstetricians, pediatricians, family practice physicians and obstetrical nurses, along with anesthesia personnel and other ancillary staff.

Registered nurses

Registered nurses with years of obstetrical and neonatal experience provide individualized and supportive care during your entire birthing experience. Your nurse will teach you and your family what you need to know to help care for yourself and your baby.

Certified Lactation Specialist: If you wish to breastfeed, all of our registered nurses are trained to assist you. Additionally, we have a Certified Lactation Specialist, who is available for consultation.

Highest technology

Rarely, mother or newborn needs a higher level of healthcare involvement. You can take comfort in knowing that the medical and nursing team at Aurora Medical Center Hartford are trained to handle all of your needs, including the unexpected ones. Should it be determined that you or your baby need high risk care the "state of the art" technology is available to you at the Aurora Women's Pavilion of Aurora West Allis Medical Center or Aurora Sinai Medical Center
