What to Expect
We do our best to review and honor a patient’s birth preferences, with the goal of having as few interventions as possible to achieve a natural birth. Our maternity unit offers a unique and convenient family-centered experience.
Unlike many hospitals where you are moved to a different room or unit after delivery, you will labor, deliver, and recover in the same comfortable private room. This allows for greater consistency of care, minimizes disruptions for you and your newborn, and promotes bonding during this special time.
For patients needing more intensive medical care, Hackensack Meridian Southern Ocean Medical Center is partnered with the Level III NICU at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
