Labor and delivery

With multiple hospitals located in the Greater Denver area, we make it convenient for families throughout the Rocky Mountain region to receive expert pregnancy and childbirth services. Each of our facilities is dedicated to helping you create your ideal birth experience while keeping you and your baby safe and healthy.

Within our family of hospitals, you will find:

• A variety of delivery methods to fit your preferences
• Breastfeeding support
• Expert newborn surgical capabilities
• Medicated and unmedicated birth support
• Parenting and birthing classes
• Spacious private rooms

A doula supports and assists you during labor and birth. All of our labor and delivery hospitals welcome doulas to assist in your birth plan.

Some pregnancies involve more specialized medical care during pregnancy, labor and childbirth. Our maternal fetal medicine doctors — also called perinatologists — are highly skilled in assessing and managing a range of unique and high-risk childbirth issues. If you have been working with one of our perinatologists during your prenatal care, they will continue to provide that while you are in labor and giving birth.

At each of our hospitals, certified nurse midwives (CNMs) are a welcome member of the maternity caregiving team. A CNM can care for you throughout your pregnancy and journey to motherhood, consulting with an OB/GYN when needed. You may enjoy working with a midwife if you would like to experience a low-intervention, unmedicated childbirth.

If your baby needs additional care and monitoring after birth, our neonatologists are standing by. Our hospitals provide advanced neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) with highly trained neonatal doctors and nurses to care for ill or premature newborns.

Additionally, our family of hospitals is home to the largest Level IV NICU in Colorado — the Level IV NICU at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.

After your baby is born, we continue to care for both of you throughout your hospital stay. Our postpartum care services are designed to ensure you and your baby are healthy and to help you get ready to go home.

Our compassionate nurses will monitor your health, help you learn to care for your baby and answer any questions you may have. Your nurse and our lactation consultants can also offer breastfeeding support, if you wish to breastfeed.
