You have changes ahead and choices to make, and we can help. We have the best care available for you and your new baby, ranging from certified nurse-midwives to our physician specialists. Beginning with your prenatal care, to the time you arrive at St. Luke’s in labor, through the emotional moment of delivery and recovering with your new bundle, we’ll take excellent care of you, your baby, and your family.
Did you know that experts recommend preparing for pregnancy one to three months before conception? That’s because a healthy pregnancy begins with a healthy mom. With a little planning, you can eliminate a lot of the fear and worry that can accompany the early stages of pregnancy.
Personal Care in a Hospital Setting
Our certified nurse-midwives are advanced-practice registered nurses who have specialized training in both nursing and midwifery. A nurse-midwife functions as the primary care provider for a woman and her baby during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Midwives most often provide care for healthy women whose pregnancies are uncomplicated and not high risk. They work closely with a physician at every stage of your pregnancy.
Compassionate Support for All Parties
St. Luke’s is dedicated to supporting all parties involved in an infant adoption or surrogacy arrangement with compassion and sensitivity. Our doctors, nurses, and staff are trained in the complexity of adoption and surrogacy, and are committed to respecting the unique needs of birth parents, intended and prospective parents, surrogates, and the babies who connect them.

Pregnancy can be a joyous time, but it can also be stressful for women with concerns about substance abuse, prescription medications, chronic pain issues, or psychiatric needs.
Being a parent is tough job, but St. Luke's has the support you need to succeed.
