Maternity and Childbirth Services

If you are expecting, congratulations! A baby's birth is one of life's most special events. Your pregnancy and birth experience should be too. From the moment you first learn you are expecting to the day you meet your new baby, we're here to help.

OB/GYN Care
St. Luke's offers a full range of obstetrical and gynecologic care.

Find an OB/GYN
If you don't already have an OB/GYN or want to be sure to choose one who delivers at St. Luke's, we can help you find one that meets your specific needs:

• Contact the St. Luke's Maternity Nurse Navigator.
• Call the nurses with St. Luke's Physician Referral Service at 314-205-6060.
• Search our online physician directory.

Maternity Nurse Navigator
The St. Luke's Maternity Nurse Navigator service offers expectant parents - and even those not yet pregnant - a personal guide through pregnancy and their baby's birth. The complimentary service provides a more customized, concierge-style experience with private tours, assistance with birth planning and class registration, and help navigating the birth planning "to do" list.

High Risk Pregnancy Support
Most pregnancies and deliveries are healthy and without complication, but some women experience high risk conditions or develop complications during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum. St. Luke's partners with Access TeleCare, to bring board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialists to our patients via telemedicine. Our obstetricians and maternity providers have 24/7 access to the highest level of consultation to diagnose and treat women with high-risk pregnancies and those experiencing complex deliveries. 

From 24/7 maternal-fetal medicine support, to our Special Care Nursery (level II neonatal nursery), it's reassuring to know you'll have access to the specialty care you may need.

Classes and tours
Classes are another great way to prepare for your baby's birth, the changes a new baby brings, and the special care you and your baby will need. St. Luke's Hospital offers a wide variety of childbirth and maternity classes.

Maternity Tours - tours of the Birth Care Suites, Nursery and Special Care Nursery (NICU) - are held on Tuesday evenings and one Saturday morning each month. For your convenience, private tours can also be arranged through the Maternity Nurse Navigator service. Of course, we encourage you to tour in person, but our online maternity tour offers a sneak peak or another option. Schedule a Maternity Tour. Video: Take an Online Maternity Tour.
