Delivery

We are here for you every step of the way, from diagnosis to delivery and beyond. For many of our patients, we will coordinate delivery at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital - St. Louis. Renowned for outstanding maternity care, St. Mary's Hospital - St. Louis was named by Newsweek as a Best Maternity Hospital in 2020 and 2023 and is recognized as a Baby-Friendly Hospital. Learn more about labor and delivery at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital - St. Louis.

If you or your baby will only need follow-up care after delivery, we can often work with your OB/GYN to arrange delivery at the hospital of your choice. In rare instances where a baby may face immediate challenges upon delivery, our team can perform EXIT deliveries and C-sections at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Learn about the EXIT Procedure.

Supportive Birthing Experience

We believe in making your birthing experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. At St. Mary's, you'll find warm, welcoming birthing suites and experienced, caring staff dedicated to you and your baby's well-being.

Our team will do everything possible to follow your birth plan while ensuring the health and well-being of you and your baby.

Advanced Care for Your Baby

If your baby needs immediate attention after birth, we are prepared. Your baby will have immediate access to a team of Cardinal Glennon neonatologists at St. Mary’s Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). If a higher level of care is necessary, your baby will receive care at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital’s level IV NICU, the top-rated NICU in Missouri. Both NICUs allow visitors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
