Except in very special situations, you and your baby will spend your postpartum hospital stay in one of our postpartum units. There, the contemporary comfort of our labor, delivery, and recovery rooms continues into the earliest days after birth.
Here, your baby is protected by a multilevel, state-of-the-art infant security system.

Postpartum Depression Resources
The experts who manage our behavioral health services can provide educational materials and resources. These can help with the hormonal changes of childbirth and the adjustment to parenthood.

Your pelvic floor goes through many changes during pregnancy and delivery. At UPMC, we offer expert care for women who experience healing difficulties within a year of giving birth. These can include pain, urinary or bowel issues, or other pelvic floor problems.
