Our outpatient teams include Obstetrician-Gynecologists (OB/GYN physicians), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who work collaboratively with our inpatient team. These teams work with you and with each other to ensure your experience throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery, and post-partum are as easy and comfortable as possible, and that you and your baby have the support and resources necessary to meet your specific healthcare needs and birthing plan goals.
The Birth Place at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center is designed with family in mind, including spacious, private rooms that are filled with natural light and all the comforts of home. Our beautiful surroundings include spacious and private birthing suites for labor, delivery, recovery, and post-partum (after birth) stay.
Once you arrive to The Birth Place, nurses will help you get comfortable in your suite, take your vitals, and begin monitoring your labor progress. Labor can take many hours. Our nurses will be on hand to support you throughout this process, and our one-to-one nurse-to-patient ratio means that you will have one dedicated nurse with you during active labor.
In most cases, enjoy uninterrupted bonding time in your private suite. Your baby will stay by your side, promoting connection and breastfeeding. We also offer breastfeeding support from our certified lactation consultants. Before you and baby are discharged, a pediatric hospitalist will examine your baby to ensure they are ready to go home.
Additionally, our Level II Specialty Care Nursery is just down the hall from The Birth Place for babies who need extra support due to issues like infection, birth defect, or prematurity.
Childbirth classes help you prepare for labor and delivery. With knowledge comes confidence. You know what to expect and how to get ready. Classes are a good way to get your partner involved, too, and learn how to work as a team.
Our prenatal care guide provides expectant parents with essential information and practical tips for a healthy pregnancy. From nutrition and exercise advice to preparing for labor and delivery, this guide is designed to support you every step of the way. Stay informed and confident throughout your journey with our expert-backed resources.
Patients of Southern NH Medical Center do not need to pre-register prior to their delivery. If you are a patient of an outside practice, please speak with your provider about obtaining a pre-registration form or register upon arrival.
Your length of stay is determined by you and your care team based on your method of delivery and other factors. Please talk to your care team for additional details. On the day of discharge, anticipate leaving the hospital around 11am.
If you haven’t already chosen a health care provider for your baby, you’ll want to establish care prior to your baby’s arrival as your new baby will be seen shortly after they are born and frequently in the early stages of development. For help in selecting a new provider for your baby, call HealthMatch at 603-577-2255.
Reach out to us! We are currently offering online and in-person childbirth and parenting classes. You can also call 603-577-2255 (option 2) or email Healthmatch@snhhs.org and a representative will respond in 24 hours.
When your baby needs extra care, our Level II Special Care Nursery is here to provide expert, compassionate support.
