Each room comes with a private bathroom with spacious whirlpool tubs. The tubs have specially designed jets so women can undergo hydrotherapy during labor.

All patient rooms have internet access to keep family and friends connected and state-of-the-art fetal monitoring and infant security systems. A perfect combination of elegant design and warm, comfortable furnishings in a safe environment.

Each person's childbirth experience is unique. We want to ensure that your birthing experience is tailored to your needs. Talk to your labor and delivery nurse about your birthing preferences including the room environment, mobility, visitors, hydration, monitoring, pain relief options, episiotomy, cesarean section, cord cutting, feeding baby, separation and circumcision.

Our Nurses

Obstetrics nurses at SSM Health St. Clare Hospital - Baraboo deliver today’s science with such love and concern that one can almost forget the nurses are highly skilled medical professionals. Many local doctors describe them as part nurses and part midwives.

Originally, nurses received little or no preparation for assisting in childbirth. The same was true of midwives, who have assisted women in giving birth since ancient times. Midwives still deliver more than two-thirds of the world’s infants. In Western countries, however, advances in obstetrics and gynecology meant childbearing shifted from the home to the hospital by the early 1900s.

Today, technological advances in medicine and health have required nurses to be knowledgeable about sophisticated equipment, learn about an increasing number of medications and design care appropriate for a health care delivery system that’s undergoing rapid change.

Nurses in the obstetrics field deal with pregnancy, labor and the time immediately following childbirth. They also become involved in the psychological and social aspects of childbearing. Obstetrics nurses at SSM Health St. Clare have extensive training. These are just some of the highlights from their professional training, certifications and memberships:

• Inpatient Obstetrics National Certification
• Electronic Fetal Monitoring National Certification
• Neonatal Resuscitation Providers and Instructors
• Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics
• Resolve Through Sharing Bereavement Counselors
• Certified Lactation Consultants
• Wisconsin Association of Perinatal Care partners
• Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses members
