The best part of Madison Memorial Hospital’s Labor & Delivery unit is that you and your provider work together to decide your care plan. The staff works closely with you and your physician or certified nurse midwife to ensure that your birthing experience meets your personal wishes and provides the optimal health for you and your baby. This means you and your family will have opportunities to bond with your baby if both the baby and mother’s health permit it. This is your special time for your new arrival. For your convenience, you may also like to download and complete the pre-registration forms in English or Español and bring it to the Family Maternity Center front desk before your delivery with a valid picture ID and insurance card.

Your birth experience includes:

  • A private labor suite with comfortable surroundings and state-of-the-art birthing beds for comfortable labor and birth positions
  • Soft lighting and home touch décor
  • Your choice of providers, including Family Practice, OB-GYN, or Certified Nurse Midwives
  • You define those present at your delivery and visitors afterward
  • Jacuzzi and birthing balls as alternative methods of comfort and positioning
  • During labor, some of your options for pain relief are: relaxation and breathing techniques learned in a childbirth class, pain medications, water therapy (laboring in the tub), and epidurals (you should discuss your options with your provider)
  • Caring staff members who are specially trained to care for you and your baby during labor, birth, and recovery
  • After your baby is breathing well, we will place him/her skin-to-skin which helps stabilize your baby’s temperature and blood sugar. Skin-to-skin contact also promotes breastfeeding, provides a positive effect on a baby’s brain development, and comforts the baby.

If you have further questions about our programs or services, please contact us at (208) 359-6566.

  • If complications arise, we are prepared to care for your infant in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
  • Wireless internet connections for family communications
