Oh, Baby!

Expecting a baby is as exciting as it can be scary. We consider it a privilege to be a part of this important moment in your life. We take great care in providing you a secure and comfortable environment for the labor, delivery and recovery of your child's birth.

Labor, Delivery & Recovery

Congratulations! You're planning for a baby. Our focus is family-centered care. The definition of family is up to you — from support partner to grandparents. We're committed to a safe and secure delivery of your baby — one of the most cherished moments of your life. We're honored to have a part in it.

Extraordinary Newborn Care

Compassionate, skilled nurses who will watch over your newborn while you shower or get some well-deserved rest staff our 24-hour nursery. And our lactation consultants are on hand to assist with breast-feeding questions, right from the start. Not only is our staff prepared for routine deliveries, but they are highly trained for complicated situations too.

Extra Tender-Loving Care

If your baby would require emergency care or observation at the time of delivery, you'll find a team of specially trained professionals — neonatologists, neonatal nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and other healthcare providers with specialized training to tend to all of your baby's needs. Peace of mind comes from knowing the neonatal intensive care unit at The Nebraska Medical Center is a Level III nursery, the highest designation possible.

Right at Home

We strive to put you at ease right down to our home-like suites, which include TV, VCRs, stereo systems and some have Jacuzzis. Coming soon! Take a Delivery Room Virtual Tour.

Babies Online

While in the hospital, you can choose to have your newborn's picture put on our website. It's up to you how much information is included on the baby's page. You can also password protect the page to control who can view it. Babies Online.
