So Personalized.
Maternity Care Designed Around You.
At Providence, our experts partner with you through every stage of your pregnancy journey. Our care team delivers personalized maternity care in a warm, inviting environment, tailored to your ideal birth experience. We take the time to understand your preferences and concerns, ensuring the best options for you and your baby. With our wholehearted support, you can embrace each moment of this special time with joyful anticipation and confidence, knowing a dedicated team is by your side.
It's the way we care for our smallest patients and moms that makes us So Providence.
From exceptional labor and delivery services to a range of flexible birthing options, Providence Mission Hospital focuses on your needs and respects your preferences. When you partner with us, we’ll walk with you through your pregnancy, listen closely, offer sound options and help you make informed decisions. Then we’ll follow your lead — because you’re the mom. We’re here to support your choices, your comfort, and your safety. A Perinatal Nurse Navigator is available to help all patients in preparation for your delivery (including pre-admission).
Our state-of-the-art facility has specialized physicians and services immediately available for any need that arises. And for maximum peace of mind, Providence Mission is the only hospital directly connected to CHOC at Mission Hospital, with expert neonatologists on-site 24/7 for babies who need specialized care. The maternal-fetal medicine specialists at Providence Mission’s Perinatal Diagnostic and Treatment Center work closely with CHOC’s team to ensure the best care possible for mothers and babies. Even high-risk moms can feel secure, as expert perinatologists are available during pregnancy and delivery. With Providence Mission’s team by your side, you’ve got this.
When you choose an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN) to be your partner through pregnancy and delivery, we’ll help you create a birth plan that fits your preferences. If you prefer natural birth but still want to partner with an OB-GYN, many of our doctors support natural, unmedicated birth plans – you can even request a doula, and enjoy soothing amenities like hydrotherapy and LED candles in our state-of-the-art labor and delivery unit. We respect and honor your plan–understanding that preferences and safety concerns can change throughout your pregnancy and right up to delivery day.
When you go into labor, you can expect the same level of supportive, compassionate, and safe care you’ve received throughout your pregnancy. We’ll respect your birth plan, and you’ll be able to choose when and if pain medication will be used. Your labor and delivery experience will be based on your preferences and what is safest for you and your baby at the time of delivery.
Most babies can be born with very little medical help, and that’s good news because when we minimize surgical intervention, we help ensure a safer delivery. We’ll monitor your health and the health of your baby during the labor and birthing process. Unless necessary, we’ll work with you to avoid common interventions like inducing labor or episiotomy to help prevent dangerous complications that can delay healing.
At the same time, we know every birth is different, as is every new mom. If you choose an epidural for pain relief–even if you change your mind from your birth plan–we will honor your request when it’s safe to do. You are in charge of your birth experience, and that means easing your discomfort.
Did you know that women are three times more likely to experience complications during cesarean delivery? For your safety, our OB-GYNs encourage vaginal birth even if you’ve had a previous C-section, when possible. However, there are times when a cesarean delivery may be medically necessary, and our experts will help ensure both you and your baby are safe and comfortable.
If you’re ready for an outstanding pregnancy experience, start by choosing an OB-GYN who will be a good fit for you and will prioritize your safety. It’s so important to find someone who listens to you, doesn't pressure you, and gets you–both your head and your heart.
It’s your pregnancy. Let Providence be your partner.
