Sequoia Hospital requires patients to pre-register if they plan to deliver at this birth center. Pre registration can be done at any time during pregnancy and can be filled out online. This birth center offers 24-hour anesthesia services, OB physician and pediatrician coverage, and lactation consultants (IBCLC’s).

Complimentary valet parking is available to families who give birth at Sequoia Hospital.

Each labor suite contains a fully adjustable birthing bed, a bathroom equipped with a shower, and sleeping accommodations for the mom’s support person. During labor, various pain management options are available to lessen the discomfort and pain. These include short-term pain medication, warm showers, partner massages, nitrous oxide, and epidurals.

After delivery, immediate skin-to-skin contact (“the Golden Hour”) with your baby is encouraged. Parents can enjoy the privacy of immediate bonding time following labor and delivery. Your baby will room with you for the duration of your stay at the birthing center.
