Having a Baby at DRMC

Giving birth is one of the most profound and joyous experiences of your life, and at DRMC we work to help make your event truly a special delivery. We treat every person with the utmost sensitivity and care. Our staff is dedicated to giving you the time, attention and the highest quality care we can provide during this special event.

You will have the opportunity to deliver your baby in a state-of-the-art, comprehensive birthing center. Should an emergency arise for mother or baby, the most advanced equipment is right at our fingertips. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed, with a wide range of options to choose from, including family-centered care, which offers togetherness as new life begins.

Childbirth Education Classes
Prior to your delivery day, you may want to participate in our childbirth classes. Six-week sessions of both prenatal and lamaze classes are taught on our campus by certified instructors. Class sizes are limited and fill quickly – please be sure to enroll early. For more information, please call the DRMC Community Health Information Center at (435) 251-2222.
