Can we have a private room?
Yes, we provide private birthing rooms at no extra cost.
Are there pre-birth and infant care classes I can attend?
Yes, we hold free prenatal and breast-feeding classes twice a month at Peconic Bay Medical Center and at local libraries. Classes are held in Spanish as well as English.
Will I have to move after birth? How long do I stay?
Mothers and babies remain in the same room through labor, birth and recovery. Length of stay depends on the individual. Average for normal vaginal births is 2 days; average for C-section births is 3 days.
Can I collect and store my baby’s cord blood?
Yes. It would be coordinated through your Ob-Gyn through an outside vendor.
What if my baby needs emergency medical care?
Our Maternity Services Department is staffed 24/7 with board-certified neonatal nurse practitioner intensive care specialists and telehealth-connected with Northwell Health’s systemwide team of board-certified neonatologist physicians.
We are well-equipped to provide safe, secure deliveries and stabilization for unexpected high-risk newborns onsite. If higher level care is necessary, our transport team, including the SkyHealth emergency helicopter transport system, stands ready to provide the fastest route to the New York metropolitan area’s most advanced neonatal intensive care facilities.
Can I have midwife-assisted natural birth?
We have certified nurse midwifes (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) on staff. We also welcome your doula and other caregivers.
Can I have a birthing room tour?
The rooms are modern, well-equipped, and comfortable. Tours, which are guided by our nurses, can be scheduled any day of the week.
Are there restrictions on visiting hours?
Visiting hours are open.
