When you’re expecting, you’re evaluating all your choices to decide how you would like to bring your child into the world. We’re here to make it as rewarding, joyful and safe as possible. In addition to the wide variety of options for prenatal care we offer, we provide additional support for special situations.

We have you covered

Every possible need for you and your baby can be taken care of right here. Whether you choose a completely natural delivery or are in need of specialized intervention, you will never have to transfer to another hospital or care team. We have a certified nurse and some of the best doctors and specialists available. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), one of the most advanced NICU’s in the region, is located right next to the labor and delivery unit.

Low c-section rates

At OVUM, we believe surgical births should be the exception, not the expectation. During the last weeks of pregnancy, crucial lung, liver, kidney and brain development in the fetus occur. To ensure maternal and fetal health, OVUM is committed to reducing the number of elective, non-medically necessary C-sections prior to 39 weeks.

Vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC)

OVUM is one of the few providers who perform VBAC, Our doctors are supportive of VBAC for most patients with normal pregnancies. And we have the highest success rate in the region: about 80 percent of the women who try to give birth vaginally after a cesarean with us achieve their goal. Each birth is evaluated separately, Your doctor will want to carefully evaluate your pregnancy and understand the circumstances surrounding your c-section. This will help determine if you are a good candidate for VBAC and help you weigh the benefits and the risks of a trial of labor after cesarean.
