Serving women in the community is a top priority for us as a leading obstetric hospital, and our labor and delivery unit provides mom and baby with a full range of specialized, comfortable care, including high-risk obstetrical and neonatal care within the same facility.
As a Level IV Maternal Facility, which denotes the highest level of care as designated by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital provides comprehensive care for both mom and baby. Our affiliated team provides care for pregnant and postpartum patients with low-risk conditions to the most complex issues as well as high-quality care for their babies. With the capability to provide cardiovascular and neuroscience specialty services as well as on-site access to a comprehensive range of medical and maternal subspecialists, patients are cared for by teams with expertise in caring for highly complex maternal patients throughout their labor and delivery journey.

There is nothing more exciting than the birth of a baby. At Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, it’s our goal to make every childbirth experience as memorable and positive as possible. Our private, state-of-the-art labor and delivery rooms feature advanced equipment and amenities for convenience and comfort. Our caring staff is trained to care for all childbirth needs including high-risk obstetrics.
A maternal-fetal medicine specialist from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston is on call 24/7 for fetal monitoring and ultrasound imaging. After delivery, patients enjoy our family-centered atmosphere with a rooming-in option for spending this special time with a loved one. For babies who require special care, the onsite Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital NICU is staffed with neonatologists, doctors who specialize in the care of complex newborns, and specially trained nurses.
Certified registered nurses work with some of the nation’s best doctors to ensure that every woman we serve has a memorable, positive childbirth experience. Our nurses have broad experience in high-risk, as well uncomplicated deliveries, and bring a unique level of expertise to expectant mothers and their families.
We also provide a full range of high-quality facilities, technologies and services for our patients.
In addition to superior clinical capabilities, the Women’s Center offers something else to expectant mothers: a feeling of warmth and compassion. It is at the heart of all that we do and can be seen everywhere. Our amenities include:
Maximize intimacy, minimize disruptions and help make your stay with us as comfortable as possible.
Muted beige tones, accented with blues and greens that combine to create a tranquil environment.
Comfortable, upholstered window seat for visitors.
We allow mothers and babies to spend time together right after delivery rather than requiring a four-hour separation, or transition period.
Maximum ease and convenience for new and expectant mothers.
Convenient valet service until 9 p.m. (After 9 p.m. patients can be dropped off at the emergency center and will be brought by wheelchair to the Women’s Center.)
