Maternity Care Overview

Welcoming a new life into the world never loses its magic. That’s why our obstetricians take great care to ensure that your baby’s first moments are met with the caring touch of the region’s leading obstetric specialists, midwives and doulas.

At our home-like birth centers, mothers and their newborns can experience amenities and pampering alongside high-level maternity care. During childbirth, you can expect hands-on, compassionate care to create the labor and delivery experience you want, while keeping you and your baby healthy and safe.

Birth Centers

“Our birth center amenities include:

  • A single space for labor, delivery and recovery
  • Bedside education on feeding, cord care, diapering and bathing techniques
  • Certified midwives (Hinsdale also offers doula support)
  • Dedicated primary care nurse caregiver
  • Out-of-sight, state-of-the-art medical technology, so your room feels less clinical
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Large, private birthing suites
  • Overnight accommodations for your support person
  • Pain management choices, including epidurals and relaxation guides
  • Special or private suites for mothers who have undergone cesarean deliveries”
24-Hour OB Hospitalist Coverage

“At our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook and Hinsdale hospitals, we offer 24-hour, onsite obstetric (OB) hospitalist coverage, provided by OB Hospitalist Group (OBHG), the nation’s largest and only dedicated provider of customized obstetric hospitalist programs. Hospitalists are physicians who specialize solely in caring for hospitalized patients rather than those in a clinical office setting. This hospitalist program adds to our hospital’s quality obstetrics and women’s health services.

When an expectant or postpartum mom enters the emergency department, these OB hospitalists:

  • Evaluate within 30 minutes of arrival for patients 16 weeks or greater gestation (at our Bolingbrook hospital); 12 weeks or greater gestation (at our Hinsdale hospital); and those within six weeks postpartum
  • Admit to the labor and delivery unit or discharge the patient home within four hours of arrival
  • Contact the patient’s obstetric physician and work collaboratively on care
  • When an expectant mom in labor arrives, the OB hospitalists:
    • Care for laboring patients while waiting for their obstetrician to arrive
    • Support the care of high-risk pregnancy patients
    • Deliver babies and care for patients who do not have an obstetric care provider
    • Provide postpartum care”
Breastfeeding Support

We’re here to help you navigate the ups and downs of breastfeeding. We understand that the journey isn’t always easy and may not look how you envisioned. Feel confident knowing that our team of certified lactation consultants is here for you every step of the way, from working on latching techniques to troubleshooting clogged ducts, supply issues and more.

Certified Lactation Consultants to Guide You

Our lactation consultants want every new mother leaving our hospitals to approach breastfeeding with confidence. That’s why we have several lactation consultants available for consultations every day of the week by appointment and who can follow up with you after discharge.

We also continuously train our team of nurses on the latest breastfeeding techniques — taking great care to comply with the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, a joint effort by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) that encourages hospitals to teach successful feeding skills. Together, we’ll work one-on-one with you to achieve successful breastfeeding.

In addition, our lactation consultants are certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE), which demonstrates their commitment to staying in the know on the latest evidence-based care and support for breastfeeding mothers.

The Nurturing Nook

We offer The Nurturing Nook to promote and protect the initiation and duration of breastfeeding through support, supplies and education. Most visits are covered by insurance, but please check with your insurance coverage.
