Parkview Community Hospital has searched vigorously throughout the city of Riverside to select and train individuals that will be perfect to be our Labor and Delivery nurses. The Maternal and Children’s Service also offers labor delivery recovery (LDR) suites that provide a warm, safe and private setting that will assist you during your birth experience. All of the suites contain an advanced monitoring system so our nurses and your physician can monitor you and your baby throughout the entire birthing process. Your physician will even be capable to monitor you from his/her office.

 

If a Cesarean section (C-section) is either scheduled or it has become a necessary component during labor, your support person will be allowed to stay with you in the operating room, providing comfort during this memorable event. The surgical suites are located inside the Labor and Delivery department and your recovery will take place in our department as well.

 

After the birth of your child has taken place, the first hour is considered to be the “Golden hour.” During this time, we encourage these wondrous miracles to have skin to skin time with their mother and father, which is important for them to develop great brain development, create a bond with their parents, and allow proper milk production to occur.
