Why Choose Cameron for Your Maternity Hospital
Although nine months seems like a rather long time, once your pregnancy progresses to the second trimester, that time usually begins to fly. This is just one of the reasons choosing a hospital for delivery early in your second trimester is beneficial. Your comfort and privacy are top priorities for us. From our private rooms supplied with state-of-the-art equipment to our nurses with extensive training and experience in obstetrics, our birthing center offers many features.
Exceptional Care
From hydrotherapy with jet tubs for childbirth to aromatherapy in delivery and postpartum rooms, our birthing center offers mothers with a variety of amenities. In addition to routine baby care, Cameron offers advanced fetal care.
Security for You and Your New Baby
You want to know that when your baby is not with you, he or she is safely being cared for by hospital staff. Cameron security will include a locking, monitored entrance, exit door, and an infant security system.
Personalized Options for Your Birth Plan
Wireless Baby Monitoring
Wireless monitoring allows you to walk around freely while you are in labor, which is extremely beneficial because, if you remain active, your labor should progress faster.
Rooming-In
Choosing a maternity hospital like Cameron that offers rooming-in which means that, as long as your baby does not require any special medical assistance, he or she can remain in a bassinet in your room.
Comfortable Rooms with Large Showers
Cameron offers private labor and delivery and postpartum rooms with wireless internet access. Both rooms will be suitably furnished and of good size so that mothers and their families can enjoy the experience as much as possible, without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.
C-Section Experts and Operating Rooms
Choosing a hospital for delivery that has an operating room and a team of experts to perform C-sections ensures that, should the need arise, you can have this procedure. While no new mom expects her birth plan to go awry, choosing a state-of-the-art medical hospital, like Cameron, ensures your safety and comfort should unexpected procedures be required.
Lactation Consultants
Many mothers who plan on bypassing breastfeeding and heading directly into sterilized bottles and formula change their minds after their little one is placed into their arms. Cameron offers trained lactation consultants who can provide breastfeeding education to new mothers or those who experience challenges while nursing.
Educational Materials
Although educational materials benefit all mothers, they are especially helpful for first-time mothers. The materials available should be wide-ranging, covering everything from how to swaddle your baby to the ABCs of safe sleep. At Cameron Birthing Center, we provide more than just a safe space to deliver your baby — we also help our new mothers step confidently into their new role by providing thorough maternity and pediatric education and classes for parents.
Childbirth and New Parent Classes
Cameron offers classes by professional prenatal educators to support your journey into parenthood. We have a variety of classes that cover topics from childbirth preparation to lactation support and newborn safety. The entire Cameron team is here to welcome you into this new chapter.
Birth Planning
Cameron has a full-time birth planner on staff who provides one-on-one consultations through our Special Touch Delivery Program. You’ll get a full tour of the Birthing Center, learn how to create a personalized birth plan, and discover pain control options.
