- Delivering Your Bundle of Joy
-
Your baby will be born in the comfort of one of our labor, delivery and recovery suites. Epidurals and anesthesia are available around the clock if you choose them.
Following delivery, you will have a private room for quiet recuperation and for sharing precious first moments with your newborn. We appreciate the important role of fathers, siblings and grandparents in the childbirth experience. And, because we believe strongly in the mother/baby bond, we request that each mother spend the first hour with her baby before allowing additional family or friends into the room.
As you recover, you’ll experience snuggle time from 1 pm – 3 pm each day, when the lights are turned down and interruptions to patients are very limited. This allows you and your baby to get some much needed rest or enjoy some quiet time getting to know each other.
- Your Baby's Health
-
Texas Health Hospital Mansfield has specially trained nurses known as nurse clinicians. They attend each delivery to help with newborn stabilization and provide the highest quality care. As a Level I Neonatal Facility, our Women’s Services Unit now offers in-house neonatal services in our Well Newborn Nursery. Additionally, respiratory care technicians attend every Cesarean section in order to assure extra safety for your infant.
A lactation consultant is available to assist new mothers with breastfeeding and is accessible by telephone after discharge for continued support.
Every infant receives a hearing screening before discharge. Even after you and your bundle of joy head home, we continue our family-centered care.
- Safety and Security
-
Each labor room is equipped with a state-of-the-art fetal monitoring and charting system. An infant security system provides valuable added protection for the mothers and infants in our care and the department is locked 24/7.

Preparing for your newborn’s arrival can be stressful, but we are here to help make it easier for you and your family. Below are some newborn resources to review:
