Birthing Your Baby at Northfield Hospital


One of the best hospitals to labor and deliver your baby is Northfield Hospital. Located in southern metro area of the Twin Cities.  This wonderful hospital is located in Northfield. From parking your car to being taken to your labor room you are treated as if you are the only person in their hospital.  Early registration on line makes it possible to transfer from your home to the labor room smoothly and in comfort. The nursing staff are concerned about you getting comfortable before they start the question and answer game. They take your birth plan in consideration and they try to follow everything possible on it and make sure both you and your baby are safe.
  
           

Northfield Hospital is located outside of the City of Northfield, and is tucked in between Hwy 3 and 35W. It sits by itself among country life.  When you pull into the parking lot you know exactly where you need to go. Parking is free so there is no need to worry about parking fees and how much they would cost you. Once you are inside the hospital the birth center is easy to find.

Once your baby is born you are transferred to your room with your baby, family is encouraged to be with you if you are comfortable with it. You can choose a regular room or you can choose a room with a double bed so your partner can stay close thought out your stay. The bathroom is clean and big enough for more than one person. Each bathroom has a whirlpool bath tub.Because you may be the only one in the birth center you have a nurse for every need you may have. The nurses are kind and considerate to your needs. Each nurse is trained in lactation support.

Once you are discharged, there is a class called Talk Time for mothers with their babies from newborn and up to 12 weeks.  Mothers are encouraged to attend, and bring their newborn. They weight the baby and discuss topics about attachment parenting, lactation concerns, sleeping and many more topics are available. The class meets every Monday at the hospital starting at 10:30 am and ends at 12:00.

There is a women’s clinic attached to the hospital and many women come to the clinic for their prenatal appointments, birth their baby at the hospital and return to the clinic for pediatric appointments for their newborns.

The hospital offers birth and breastfeeding classes, they also offer an online class for those that cannot attend the hospital class.
Women who want both great care and the ability to follow their birth plan, please stop at the Northfield Hospital for a visit.
