Family Birth and Newborn Center at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono

When it’s time to welcome your baby, the experienced and supportive care team at Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Pocono is here for you. The newly renovated Family Birth and Newborn Center at LVH–Pocono is a beautiful, secure maternity unit that blends the comforts of home with the confidence of advanced maternal care. 

Our unit includes 13 large, private rooms designed to keep both you and your support person comfortable while you labor. Each room includes a sleeper sofa, a personal in-room refrigerator and a workstation desk with extra outlets and USB ports so you and your partner can easily connect with family members and friends to share your experience. We offer easy access to fresh coffee and cold beverages just steps from your room and a dedicated waiting room with refreshments is also available for partners and family members.

At The Family Birth and Newborn Center, we’re prepared to ease your anxiety and assist in your joyous birthing experience. The center offers:

• In-house midwifery care available 24 hours a day
• Soaking tubs for hydrotherapy to help you manage discomfort during labor. Towel-warming racks allow you to step out of the tub and into a nice warm towel when you are ready.
• Wireless fetal monitoring technology so you can move around freely during labor. Birthing balls and recliners are also available in every room
• Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for babies who are born prematurely, experience difficulties during delivery or show signs of medical complications
• Private postpartum suites designed for mother-baby bonding and recovery
• Support and education, including prenatal education classes, free car-seat checks, childbirth and breastfeeding classes and support from the Nurse-Family Partnership

Patient safety is paramount in any care setting, but it’s a heightened concern throughout pregnancy and childbirth. The Family Birth and Newborn Center is a secured unit, so you can rest assured that you and your baby will have a safe and comfortable birthing experience. Approved visitor passes are needed after hours (8 p.m.-8 a.m.).
