DELIVERY OPTIONS
  • Water birth
    i Water birth means delivering your baby in a tub. Some facilities offer tubs for labor only. Learn more about water birth here.
  • Breech trial of labor
    i If your baby is bottom first instead of head down as you approach your due date, providers that allow "breech trial of labor" may give you the opportunity to labor vaginally instead of automatically scheduling you for a cesarean birth.
  • VBAC trial of labor
    i If you had a prior c-section, some providers may give you the opportunity to begin labor and try to deliver vaginally, which is a trial of "vaginal birth after cesarean" or VBAC. Learn more about VBAC here.
  • VBA2+C trial of labor
    i If you've had more than one prior c-section, some providers may give you the opportunity to begin labor and try to delivery vaginally, which is a trial of vaginal birth after 2 or more cesareans or VBA2+C trial of labor. Learn more about VBAC here.

    [from the provider’s website]

    “Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital is a wonderful place for your labor and delivery. From the moment you arrive, you’ll have skilled services and options in care to make your childbirth experience comfortable and personal.”

    Services include:

    “A personal childbirth plan

    The specialists at Delnor Hospital want to create a personal, memorable childbirth experience for you and your family. As your delivery draws near, consider your preferences for family participation, pain management and breastfeeding, so your care team can help provide the experience that’s right for you.”

    “High-comfort, high-tech birthing suites

    When it’s time for your baby’s arrival, you’ll settle into a private, homelike labor-delivery-recovery suite equipped with the latest technology. Experienced labor and delivery nurses offer the care and support you need through every stage of childbirth, and maternal fetal specialists are standing by to handle any complications.”

    “Pain management options

    During labor, you’ll have a variety of pain-relief options, including natural methods as well as medications and anesthesia (typically an epidural) administered by anesthesiologists, who are available on site 24/7.”

    “Excellent nursing care: Once you have moved to your private postpartum suite, your mother-baby nursing team will care for you for the remainder of your stay. Nurses at Delnor Hospital are dedicated to your total comfort and personal care—an approach that has earned some of the highest patient satisfaction scores in the nation.”

    Personal choices, advanced resources: We encourage you to have your baby stay with you in your room. All of your baby’s care can be provided in your room, and you may participate in the care as much as you wish. Should you require some quiet time to rest and recover from delivery, the nursery is available 24/7 to provide care for your baby. Your nurse will be able to assist you with any of your individual needs. Newborns needing high-level medical care stay in the Special Care Nursery. You may have visitors any time of the day or night, or you can also choose to limit your visitors. Simply let your mother-baby nurse know your preference.
