Labor and Delivery at Wilcox
Welcoming a baby is one of life’s most meaningful moments. At Wilcox Medical Center, our team is here to help you feel supported, informed and cared for every step of the way. We provide maternity and newborn care in a comfortable, family-centered setting, with compassionate nurses, modern technology, and personalized support to help you and your baby get off to a healthy start.
Welcome to the Wilcox Labor and Delivery Unit
Labor, delivery, and recovery happen in one comfortable, private suite. Each suite includes a birthing bed, television, Echo Dot to stream your own music, and your own private bathroom with a shower.
When you choose to deliver your baby at Wilcox, you'll work together with your doctor to develop a birth plan based on your wishes.
Wireless and telemetry fetal monitoring is available so you can be out of bed walking and moving around while you and baby are still being monitored.
You also can decide if you want to use our epidural services or not.
Each suite has the latest birthing equipment needed – even for high-risk situations – with a surgical suite located nearby for cesarean birth.
If needed, we also offer immediate and seamless connection to maternal-fetal medicine specialists at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children.
To enrich your experience, you will have a labor nurse to care for you throughout labor and delivery. Our dedicated professionals will provide skillful nursing care, blended with helpful suggestions, to get your relationship with your new baby off to a great start.
Care Centered on the Entire ‘Ohana
After delivery, you will stay in a private postpartum room with your baby. Rooming-in helps prepare you for your mothering role.
We provide Halo bassinets to enhance the postpartum rooming-in experience and family-centered care.
By having your baby stay in your room, you will become familiar with your baby's personal rhythms and bond through touching and cuddling. You will also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your new loved one is close at hand.
New mothers may receive a 24-hour follow-up call from a nurse to answer questions and provide support. A lactation consultant is available for those mothers who opt to breastfeed their baby and may require additional assistance.
New parents are treated to a complimentary "stork dinner" after delivery to celebrate their new arrival.
