At the Center for Maternal and Infant Care, you receive family-centered care to ensure you, your baby and family have the support you need at this exciting moment in your lives. From labor and delivery to postpartum care, you’ll be in a relaxed, comfortable environment, supported by your childbirth team, to help your baby have the best possible start to life. 

You and your baby will be surrounded by a team of experts who will support you from labor through delivery and beyond. Our team includes:

• Board-certified lactation consultants
• Certified nurse anesthetists
• Neonatologist
• Pediatricians and family medicine providers
• Obstetrician/gynecologists
• Registered nurses

After your baby is born in one of our five labor and delivery rooms, you’ll have time to rest and bond with your little one in a large, private after-birth suite with sleeper chairs and couches. For babies who need more support, we offer six intensive care nursery beds.

Queen of the Valley Medical Center partners with Mom365 to provide portraits of your newborn. This program is temporarily suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic but will return when it’s safe. 

We understand that breastfeeding can be stressful and difficult for some mothers and babies. Rest assured we provide lactation support and education during your stay at the Center for Maternal and Infant Care and after you go home, if you need it. You’ll meet our lactation team during admission to the hospital.

Throughout the year, we offer a variety of classes and events to help everyone in your family prepare for your new baby. The class schedule includes:

• Preparing for Baby
• Breastfeeding
• Caring for a newborn

Most classes are offered at no cost. To learn more and register for a class, call 707-251-2000.
