C-Section Suite
Moms preparing to deliver their babies by cesarean section at MercyOne Dubuque Birth Center now will do so in a new, state-of-the-art C-section suite.
The new and expanded space includes more room for physicians, staff, and the patient and support person, as well as three infant warmers to accommodate triplets. Murals on the wall are welcoming and calming. A monitor is available with options for mom to view the procedure, the warming bed where baby is being cared for, or a mural that displays a field of flowers.
In addition, moms have the option of using a clear drape to also view the birth of baby. And as soon as it's determined that both mom and baby are doing well, baby will be placed on mom's chest for skin-to-skin contact, or bundled for the significant other to hold, to promote bonding between the new family.
Although we cannot offer personal tours of the c-section surgical suite, we still recommend scheduling an on-site tour so you can become more acquainted with our birth center facility and staff prior to your delivery. Please call 563-589-8094 to schedule your tour, or click the button below to have a staff member contact you.
