Labor & Delivery

Cabell Huntington Hospital is a Blue Cross Blue Shield Center of Distinction for Maternity Care.

Cabell Huntington Hospital is a Blue Cross Blue Shield Center of Distinction for Maternity Care.

Mothers deliver their babies in large, light-filled private birthing rooms in the Labor/Delivery/Recovery Suite, which is on the third floor of the North Patient Tower directly above the Emergency Room. The rooms were designed with the mother's care and comfort in mind, from natural birth to high-risk deliveries we want your birth experience to be everything you intend.

Cesarean Sections & Emergencies

If a Cesarean section (C-section) is planned, or in case of emergency, there are two specialized surgical suites within the unit and an infant stabilization room to provide care for babies who are premature or experiencing medical problems.

Visitation

For the safety of our mothers and babies, Labor & Delivery is a locked unit. Visitors will enter through the door at the front of the unit and each visitor will receive a yellow wristband for their visit to be returned at the window upon exit. Two designated visitors may accompany the patient for the entirety of their stay. One of these designated visitors may spend the night from 8 p.m. – 8 a.m. For the comfort of our mothers, we ask that no food be brought into the unit without checking with the nurse first. At this time, no siblings are permitted to visit.

What to Bring

The Labor and Delivery Unit will provide diapers, wipes and diaper ointment as well as hospital T-shirts with hand covers, blankets and burp clothes. For mothers who willl be formula feeding, we provide the formula. Mothers are permitted to dress infants in their personal clothes, but the hospital will not be responsible if those get misplaced. For moms,hospital gowns and disposable underwear are available and highly recommended due to bleeding after delivery. If soiled, they can just be thrown away. Of course, some moms are comfortable in their own clothes. We have hospital personal hygiene products, but again, some moms prefer to bring their own.

Delivery

The father and a designated support person are welcome during the delivery. Physical contact is important for every new baby and breastfeeding keeps mother and baby close. Whether you choose to breastfeed or not we support the natural process of bonding through skin to skin contact.

Once you have recovered from delivering your baby, you will be moved to the Mother/Baby Unit.

When time is of the essence, Cabell Huntington Hospital has an experienced maternal transport team that is specially trained to care for pregnant women or mothers who have just given birth while they are transported to the hospital by air or ground.
