Our Maternity Program
Pre-Admission
We highly recommend that you pre-register for admission to the hospital before your 28th week of pregnancy. By pre-registering, your admission to the hospital on the birth day will be much smoother. Call 772.223.5905 to pre-register for hospital admission.
Tours
When you call to pre-register, make an appointment to tour our facility. We provide tours to all interested parents-to-be on an appointment basis. You will be met by the department staff and then escorted on a tour of the unit by one of our nurses. The tour includes:
Hospital access
OB admitting area
Labor-delivery-recovery rooms
Neonatal intensive care nursery
Mother-baby unit
During the tour and orientation to our facility, we will familiarize you with the admitting procedures, safety and security procedures and childbirth education classes, and we will initiate plans for your discharge home, including a home visit from our home health staff.
Services/Products
Childbirth Classes
Our childbirth classes can help you and your partner prepare for the birth, help prepare siblings for the new arrival, give you information about breastfeeding, teach family members how to care for the newborn, teach emergency care skills, or just refresh moms and partners who are already experienced. We recommend that you wait until your fifth month of pregnancy before registering for classes.
Read about the classes we offer and how to register.
The Birth Day!
When the birth day comes, we will be here to give you exceptional care. Your partner can be with you during the birth, and may stay overnight in your private room. Siblings are not allowed to stay overnight. Please refer to our visitation policy for other visitor guidelines. You may request a copy from one of our staff members, or see it on Martin Health System's website at martinhealth.org.
