At Lankenau Medical Center, they call their Maternity unit the Mother-Baby Center at Lankenau.
When you give birth an Lankaneu, you spend your first time in a private labor and delivery room, and then after a brief recovery period, you are moved to a postpartum room.
Bryn Mawr Hospital serves moms with normal healthy pregnancies, as well as moms with high risk pregnancies. Among the many services they offer, they have a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, they offer perinatal testing, breastfeeding support, and fertility and reproductive services.
Bryn Mawr Hospital offers child birth preparation classes, sibling preparation classes, and one day crash courses. These classes also include a tour of the maternity unit.
I am very familiar with their breastfeeding support group that meets Thursday afternoons, led by a wonderful nurse/lactation consultant named Terry Sanborn, RN, BS, IBCLC. The group meets every Thursday from 2-3pm in conference room F on the 2nd floor of the East wing of Bryn Mawr Hospital. It also meets every other Saturday from 1:30-2:30 in the Clothier Living Room of Clothier Building in Bryn Mawr Hospital.
When a mom gives birth at Bryn Mawr Hospital, she is offered the opportunity for a lactation consultant to assist her and her baby during their hospital stay directly in their room. Women are also offered breastfeeding classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on the maternity unit. They also offer a baby-care class every evening.
