High-Risk Pregnancy Care
Obstetrics providers work collaboratively with perinatologists (doctors who specialize in high-risk pregnancy care) to manage pregnancy-related conditions, as well as provide specialized care for women with existing medical conditions.
Labor and Delivery
Delivery rooms provide everything your doctors, nurses and other maternal specialists need to provide you with quality obstetric care. The experienced labor and delivery staff utilizes a range of medical technologies in these suites to all labors to a safe and successful delivery..
VBAC
If you have had a C-section in the past, you may be able to deliver your next baby vaginally. Many obstetricians at the Santa Rosa Medical Center Baby Suite are experienced in vaginal birth after cesarean deliveries (more commonly known as “VBACs”). Having a vaginal birth after having a C-section can be an option for many women. You and your physicians can decide in advance if this approach is right for you.
