Postpartum Care

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.

Breastfeeding Support

The certified lactation experts are available to:

  • Provide private, one-on-one breastfeeding consultation.
  • Help you choose breastfeeding options that are right for you.
  • Answer your questions and offer the latest, evidence-based information on breastfeeding.

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.

Postpartum Pelvic Floor Healing Services

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.
