Your Delivery at Bryn Mawr Hospital

Bryn Mawr Hospital's spacious and beautifully decorated Family Centered Maternity Unit offers all private Labor/Delivery/Recovery/Postpartum (LDRP) birthing suites. Each room containes a birthing bed, which is converted to position the patient for delivery, then returned to its original form after the baby is born. A fully-equipped operating room adjacent to the Maternity Unit is dedicated to patients requiring cesarean sections.

Concealed equipment is brought out when necessary and each room contains a server station containing everything needed to monitor mother and baby's condition. Each room has a private bath, TV, and VCR and a chair/bed for family members. Families are encouraged to keep the baby with them as much as possible, however our skilled and experienced maternity nurses are available to help whenever necessary. 

After delivery, your baby will be taken to the newborn nursery for careful observation and any required testing. In addition to standard testing, all Main Line Health Hospitals routinely perform a hearing screening on your baby to check for any early problems.

As part of our family-centered philosophy, we encourage you to have your baby with you as much as you like, however we are always available to answer your questions and provide guidance during those first days. All Main Line Health Hospitals have special security measures in place to ensure that proper identification is checked each time we bring you your baby.
