Support For Your Pregnancy & Birth

We’re here for you through all the stages of pregnancy, from planning for pregnancy through labor, delivery, and caring for you postpartum.

Pregnancy Resources and Amenities

At Sanford Women’s, you get the options you want for the best pregnancy experience: 

• Preconception clinics. If you’re struggling to get pregnant, we can help. Our reproductive medicine team has pregnancy success rates higher than the national average. Learn about fertility resources available at Sanford Health.
• Early prenatal appointments. See our providers as early as eight weeks pregnant to get your pregnancy off to the right start.
• Prenatal ultrasound. During normal and high-risk pregnancies, we can take a detailed look at your baby’s developing body to diagnose defects in the limbs and vital organs. We also can test your baby’s well-being with biophysical profile ultrasound, color imaging and Doppler.
• Luxurious birthing suites. We have 24/7 on-site care and abundant amenities designed for your comfort and your family’s privacy and safety.
• Constant support. Build a relationship with a team of providers who will partner with you through your pregnancy and beyond. Once your baby is born, use our lactation support and education any day – we’re open seven days a week.
• Postpartum depression resources. Many women experience changes in their hormone levels before and after childbirth. These changes affect brain chemistry and cause emotional distress. Our women’s health experts are ready and willing to support your physical and mental well-being. Download our postpartum guidebook.

Choose Sanford Health for expert providers who are here for you before, during and after childbirth.
