Amenities
In The BirthPlace, all mother/baby suites are private, spacious and beautifully decorated with wood furnishings, residential-quality cabinetry and upholstery. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, refrigerator and a sofa chair that converts into a single bed. Many also have outdoor balconies. All the suites can accommodate Mom at every stage of her experience-labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum.
The BirthPlace's philosophy of family-centered care supports a mother's desire for closeness with her loved ones and the degree to which she's comfortable caring for her baby during her stay. Set your own visiting hours for family and friends. Decide how much time your baby will spend with you in your suite. Extend an invitation for overnight accommodations to your birthing partner. For a nominal cost, you can even order an extra dinner for a special visitor.
Our board certified lactation (breastfeeding) consultant is available for advice and consultation free of charge to breastfeeding mothers who delivered at Holy Name.
Our Warm Line, 201-833-3124, is your direct link to a Holy Name board certified lactation consultant where you can get answers about breastfeeding.
Maternal-Fetal Medicine (Perinatology)
Maternal-fetal medicine is the branch of obstetrics that focuses on the management of complicated and high-risk pregnancies. An expectant mother may be referred to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, also known as a perinatologist, if she has a medical problem such as diabetes, hypertension or heart disease, or if a previous pregnancy resulted in preterm labor, multiple births, pre-eclampsia, or a genetic disorder or birth defect.
Maternal-fetal physicians work with obstetricians to monitor and confirm healthy fetal development and assist in your care throughout the pregnancy. Your perinatologist will consult with you and your obstetrician about ways to promote your health and that of your baby. The perinatologist keeps your ob closely informed throughout every step of your evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and in most cases, your obstetrician will deliver your baby.
Holy Name Medical Center's Maternal-Fetal Medicine Service advocates a personalized, hands-on approach to patient care. Unlike many other perinatologists, they will meet with you at every appointment to discuss your test results and answer your questions.
