Mother-baby care program
Methodist Healthcare supports and participates in the mother-baby care program. Our postpartum rooms are specially designed for this purpose — to give both mother and baby plenty of “getting-to-know-you” time.
Therefore, the newborn nursery may seem somewhat empty at our hospitals. This is because we encourage moms to get acquainted with their babies by spending this important time together. It’s a good time for you to ask questions and learn from your nurses. Occasionally, it may be necessary for your baby to visit the nursery.
High risk maternity care
No matter your situation, Methodist Healthcare is proud to offer three convenient locations for safe high-risk pregnancy care and delivery. Here, perinatal navigators are available to help high-risk expectant mothers navigate their way through the complexities of pregnancy and the labor and delivery process. They will partner with your healthcare team to develop a personalized care plan, facilitate communication between different members of your care team, provide emotional support and connect you with community resources and any support services you may need.
Neonatal intensive care
Across our network of hospitals, we provide advanced care for our tiniest patients in our NICUs. Our Level III and Level IV NICUs are equipped to care for the most complex neonatal conditions and the most critically ill newborns. Here, experienced NICU teams and pediatric specialists are available 24/7 to provide vital care when your child needs it most.
Postpartum care
After your baby is born, we are here to support you, help you recover and feel confident as you embrace life with your newborn. Our selection of postpartum care services are personalized for the unique needs of moms and their support partners, offering pain management, breastfeeding support, postpartum depression screenings and follow-up care to ensure that both you and your baby receive the care and guidance you need during this important time.
Many of our hospitals also have the Texas Ten Step designation, which illustrates our commitment to providing the best care, education, resources and support for breastfeeding moms and babies.
