Expecting
It’s an exciting time! You’re likely feeling a mix of excitement, nerves, and anticipation. But one thing is certain–the moment you meet your new baby will be one of the most beautiful memories of your life.
We want to help you cherish every moment of your pregnancy from conception through delivery and beyond. We know how important the relationship is with a family and your provider. We also know that creating a nurturing and supportive environment is key, which is why we designed our facilities and services with you in mind. We are experts in caring for you and your little bundle of joy on the way, so we’ve personalized every aspect to be sure you receive the best of care here.
We talk a lot about the little things that go into your Parkside Experience and that’s especially true of our expectant families. We aspire to make you feel at home here. And, to put your mind at ease, our doctors are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Partnerships
The health of our patient families and newborns are only strengthened by a close connection to the providers and specialists who we know and trust.
Our partnerships with the Breastfeeding Center at Parkside and Parkside Pediatrics offer the unique opportunity for you to obtain seamless care and be prepared as you transition into motherhood. This helps make it easier for you to establish care with incredibly supportive providers you know are trusted, and most importantly, helps you feel confident with the care of your new baby. You can also schedule a Pre-natal Lactation Consult with the Breastfeeding Center at Parkside BEFORE your baby is born.
