Labor and Delivery at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital

UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital
300 Halket St.
Pittsburgh, PA15213

Choosing the right environment for the special occasion of welcoming a new baby is an important decision for many expectant parents.

You can feel secure in knowing that, for nearly a century, women have chosen to depend on the expertise and compassion of UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital for the delivery and care of their babies.

Our Services

  • Women's health.
  • Labor and delivery.

Why Choose Magee to Deliver Your Baby?

Our Labor, Delivery, and Recovery Rooms offer:

  • A comfortable, family-centered environment for labor, deliver, and recovery.
  • Innovative laboring options, such as hydrotherapy and birthing balls.
  • World-renowned obstetricians and board-certified nurse midwives.

The entire LDRs staff, from physicians to midwives to nurses to patient care technicians, take a personalized approach to your care, making every effort to create the birthing experience you've envisioned.

Everything needed for a safe, comfortable labor experience — fetal monitoring, anesthesia equipment, and a bed that pulls apart for delivery — is already in the room, integrated into the surroundings to preserve the comfort and intimacy of the environment.

As labor progresses, you can take advantage of some of the innovative birthing options available, such as hydrotherapy in showers with mobile shower heads, wireless fetal monitoring, and birthing balls. Pain relief options, should you choose to use them, are available through our 24-hour anesthesia services.

After delivery, you and your baby can enjoy the golden hour of skin-to-skin and first feeding. After the immediate recovery period, you and your newest addition will transfer to the Mother-Baby unit for the rest of your hospital stay.

Learn more about labor and delivery visitor guidelines.

Celebrate Your Baby's Birth at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital

UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital offers several ways for parents, grandparents, friends, and families to celebrate your baby's arrival:

  • Order a Celebratory Dinner for the New Parents — This dinner includes entrées, sides, salad, and dessert for two.
  • Purchase a Baby Bead Bracelet or Baby's First Charm Keepsake (PDF) — Our baby bracelets are custom made by a Volunteer Service Board member.

The Birth Circle Doulas of Magee

Our Birth Circle Doulas help women who plan to deliver at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital in every stage of pregnancy. A Birth Circle Doula of Magee:

  • Helps you decide your birth preferences and make a birth plan.
  • Shares their knowledge and compassion with the goal of creating a safe and nurturing birthing space.
  • Stays by your side during childbirth to offer support.
  • Provides childbirth and baby care education.
  • Identifies and provides support for mental health issues.
  • Offers postpartum follow-up breastfeeding support.

Why should I think about getting doula support at UPMC Magee?

The presence of a trusted person during labor can make a big difference in having a positive birth experience.

Research has found that people who use doula services have:

  • Fewer medical interventions.
  • Fewer C-sections.
  • Less use of pain medicines and epidurals.
  • Increased rates of breastfeeding.
  • Higher satisfaction with the birth experience.
  • Decreased postpartum depression.

The postpartum follow-up by the doulas has shown to have a positive impact on breastfeeding and attendance at well-baby visits.

Get to know the doula team

As you approach your due date, please join us at our monthly virtual meet-and-greet session to meet the whole doula team.
