Maternity Services
When you are thinking of growing your family, you want to make sure you are ready. Our specialists meet with you before you get pregnant to go through your health history and help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy.
Whether you are starting or growing your family, our maternity specialists help support you through every phase of pregnancy and prepare you for your baby’s arrival.
Obstetricians and midwives help pregnant women along their journey in very similar ways, but there are differences in what they can do for you. Choose one or the other – or both, if you prefer.
Discover what it's like to have a baby at a Novant Health facility. Explore your options and see how our maternity care team will work with you to create an ideal, personalized birth plan.
Sometimes you might need extra attention for your pregnancy. Our high-risk specialists work with you to provide extra monitoring and care to help you have a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Our care teams include board-certified neonatologists, specialized nurses, respiratory therapists and other prenatal care experts. They're ready to provide exceptional care if your newborn baby arrives prematurely or with an illness or condition requiring special care.
Our lactation services include prenatal breastfeeding classes, consultations with lactation specialists, hands-on help in the hospital following delivery, and appointments for support after discharge.
The loss of a pregnancy or child can be an emotional time for which you will need support. We offer dedicated, compassionate support to help guide you during this time and connect you to resources.
After your baby is born, your body experiences rapid hormone shifts that can cause physical and emotional changes. The supportive team at Novant Health is here to help you through this period as you adjust to life with your new family.
