Our philosophy of family-centered care does not change if you deliver by C-Section--planned or unplanned. A C-Section can be somewhat frightening, so we take the time to fully explain what you can expect to happen and why. We encourage you and your family to ask questions so everyone understands what's happening. Providence Maternity Center has 2 complete operating rooms right on the Labor & Delivery unit. Anesthesia doctors are available 24 hours a day. During a C-Section, your partner is encouraged to remain by your side. We will assign a hospital support person to help your partner every step of the way. This support person will show your parnter how to put on scrubs (special clothing to wear in the operating room), wash their hands and will remain at your parnter's side throughout the birth. If you are expecting to deliver your baby by a C-Section, we strongly encourage you to take one of our monthly C-Section Classes designed to walk you through every step of the birth of your baby.
